The co-author of the Trek TNG episode "Contagion" (where we are introduced to the Iconians) is also the creator of "Howard the Duck" as well as episodes to several 80's-era "GI Joe" episodes?

So, whar name on Memorial Plaque? Whar?
So you want a plaque for every single person involved with trek? Ever?
I have watched every single episode of Trek - and every movie. I guess I should get a plaque too.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
Dont need a plaque for everyone, there already is one. THey do, however need to periodically update it, and I already know there was a batch set for update, but I dont know they had a timeframe for when it was going out
(I assume with the season)
Since this isn't Howard The Duck Online, being a co-author of a trek episode isn't much of a reason unless the activate feature is going to list every cast and crew member, every guest star, every writer, and the makers of Shatner's hairpieces.
The only reason might be that we now know that the Iconians are behind everything that has ever happened including Fox's mishandling of Firefly

Did anyone else just have a flash vision that the iconians are just talking ducks in disguise or was that just me?
maybe list all these people in a clicky thingy thing? on the plaque otherwise the plaques would just be huge in the end.
I don't get why anytime an actual name for an actor, writer, producer or director is suggested as an addition that it's cause for such sarcasm. Just as original cast voice-overs are a sign of quality for our game, the addition of that broader memorial listing is, IMO, another sign of quality.
Thank you, killalljedi, for bringing this to our collective attention. I'm not currently logged in to look. Is Gerber's name not on the original memorial listing?
Season 10 wouldn't be happening without Gerber's contribution to the Trek canon. I certainly don't think it inappropriate to add his name to the currently maintained memorial if it isn't already there. I realize the Devs can't - and shouldn't drop everything whenever these passing's happen. Perhaps every couple of months toss any cumulative changes into a weekly server patch. I don't think this unreasonable or impractical for a game such as this one. At a minimum, his name should be added for when Season 10 does go live.

Pa-leeze!
Come to me when you've seen them all more than 100 times each. :rolleyes:
Then we can make popcorn and do another 624 episodes marathon.
The first 78 viewings were the most difficult because I had to watch them on TV and had to wait to watch them, one episode at a time, each night, at 7:00. (I did the math once. 17 years, 79 episodes of ST-TOS was the only Star Trek there was baring 4 movies.
I'm glad to say that 624 episodes of ST stories, makes it stay fresh for me. And playing this game, the PVE stories, it just gives me an excuse to re-watch an ep. to see if the Devs got it right. From the parts I've played, they did and they do.
I wouldn't have endorsed adding an inconsequential writer to a Trek memorial plaque, but with how far Cryptic has taken the canonically-extinct Iconians, I'd say they owe him at least that much.

FYI, there are 703 episodes of Trek - 725 when you include TAS - and then the movies.

I can't go on. It's too sad...
Wow. Way to totally miss the point of the message there, which was that the Iconians and HtD both sprang from the same brain.
I'm sure the day that a certain couple of Trek nerds expire, there will be much celebration of their demise.
