    Uhh..... you got him in the wrong shirt color. In 'Into Darkness' he actually wore red.

    Then we should have BOFF for the rest who died that was part of Trek. I would love to have Yeoman Rand on my AOY team.

    Someone on Twitter had asked Geko if players would be able to use her hairstyle and he said "yes", but I haven't seen it in game yet. Maybe it's not ready for players yet or it's bugged?

    We have to be careful about giving out BOffs of former characters from the shows and the series - a memorial on Earth is one thing, but having someone on your ship in the image of a deceased person could be offensive or unsettling - particularly to family members or friends of the deceased.

    This is why we shouldn't. Unless having them in game for something like they doing for the story line. We as players shouldn't have them to use.

    I would have that hair on one of my BOFFs. I'm always wanting more hair options.

    you do realize we already have NPCs based on deceased people game, right?

    how is having an NPC as your bridge officer more offensive than having them in a mission?

    but the estates/families of said desceased people allowed the likeness to be used in game.... f a lot fo people started doing that, mr. yelchins family could sue cryptic.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but they would need permission from the person or, in this case, his family, right?

    Since they're unlikely to put too much effort into such a thing just to create a Boff (which is quite understandable btw, not judging here) I doubt it will happen.

    And even if it happened, then we won't have to worry about it: cause then the family has agreed that they're ok with it.

    Edit: nevermind, just saw that, while typing, someone else brought up the same thing.

    Does anyone else have the sudden desire to play some board game on her hairstyle?

    LoL!

    I just noticed this:

    Apparently the reason why the Yeoman Rand beehive hair isn't available yet, is because a lot of ToS costume unlocks are actually bugged. So they'll fix it soon, I hope.

    Maybe it's part of the 50th anniversary thing coming up.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    He was assigned as chief engineer at the time. I doubt he stayed red with Scotty back.

    Yep. Permission is required by law, otherwise there is risk of a lawsuit.

    One instance where permission was not requested prior to using an actor's face for commercial financial gains was when Samuel L. Jackson's likeness was used for Nick Fury by Marvel Comics artists back in 2002. It was a quick and amicable resolution. Jackson allowed Marvel to use his likeliness as long as he would play the role of Nick Fury in any future Marvel movie.

    I think it's a great idea, but we don't need another copypasta BO with TRIBBLE for space traits

    How is anybody going to know if one uses a "likeness" on their crew?

    Like maybe tic-tac-toe?
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    That is really cool. For someone to go out of their way to make a tribute is fine... I don't think we need/should ask cryptic for a whole line of BOFF like that tho.

    It isn't a promotion. A player turned an Alien BOFF into the likeness. He tells you how to do one for yourself, using his image.
