Missed the show? You can watch the recorded version here and join us as we say goodbye to Mr Spock and more of the fallen stars of Trek, and come together with our community to celebrate the lives of these creative legends.

Thank you to all who joined us! It was a very touching Livestream, and it was great to see so many members of our STO Community coming out to thank our dev team for all the hard work they put into this tribute.

    Sorry I missed this.

    Smirk, not sure if you've seen it, but I started a thread noting a few names missing from the list on the second page of the memorial text. Seems a few notable Trek contributors are missing. http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1393341

    I caught the last few minutes and would like to thank you for doing this. It meant a lot to me.

    Smirk,

    Do you mind posting some nice Wallpapers of this? I mean the Statues in the different locals.

    I am sure that everyone will get to these in the coming hours, days, etc, but until we all find the time to get there, a few quality WPs of the Spock Statues, would be nice.

    Also, thanks for pulling this off so quickly.

    I appreciate that STO took time to do this event, but was there any thought about making this more available for all of us in the US that cannot make these late morning/early afternoon live-streams?

    Still, good to see all of you honoring the work of Leonard "Spock" Nimoy.

    This seems the best place to do it. I'd like to congratulate and honor the Cryptic design squad, the proverbial Starfleet Corps of Engineers, and how swiftly and beautifully they executed these memorials.

    The quotes from the main cast were beautiful and I wasn't expecting the credits of deceased memorial so thank you. Though I must note that John Colicos was conspicuously absent...don't feel bad at all, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences forgot Joan Rivers in their memoriam after all. All in all you ladies and gents did a fine job.

    And I'd like to say that as awesome as the statue on Vulcan is, that New Romulus edition took me by surprise, integrating the Romulan Eagle's wings with the Kol-Ut-shan. Brilliant. I wonder if it's now visible in the cut scene of your first visit to New Romulus. :cool:

    Anyway, excellent. A fitting tribute to Mr. Nimoy and the character he so brilliantly portrayed. These are small tokens, but certainly appreciated by we the fans. Thank you. Perhaps D'Tan should randomly come out and meditate in front of the statue similar to how the Enterprise-F crew randomly appears in Club 47.

    As a long time player and much much longer Star Trek fan I would like to post a hearty thank you to the staff at Cryptic for a job well done on the memorials to late Leonard Nimoy and other members of the Star Trek cast and crew.

    As a member of what can be a very demanding community thanks may not always be as forth coming as criticism. Some of which I am certainly given to myself on lesser days.

    I would therefore like to take this opportunity to point out all the good work you guys do. There is a great deal of talent reflected in the Star Trek Online's production and planning and although there are always areas that can be improved it does not diminish the work that has been done.

    The sensitive portrayal of Nimoy cast as his character Mr. Spock is truly exceptional and would only be topped as a real sculpture and monument. It also reflects a real sensitivity toward your community's needs as well as the late actor and that sensitivity should be recognized.
    Your work on this game is as important to the franchise in this online social world as the films are to traditional media.

    Thanks for a job well done on the memorial and on the game as a whole.

    Sincerely TK/Kik@Sugi2k

    Love the memorials. Now, what can be done about the constant, 24/7 trolling and griefing that is now taking place at them? That kind of takes away from it all because in some cases, like earlier just now, you can't even see the memorials due to players purposely standing on or in front of the memorials to block other peoples views or because there are a swarm of disco balls blinding everyone from seeing them.

    What's the point of putting stuff like that in the game that simply feeds the trolls, abusers and griefers?

    I agree. The fusion of the two emblems into a single whole is reflective of the ideal of Reunification itself.

    This is an excellent tribute to Mr. Nimoy and the others who have contributed to Trek and its followers for decades. Well done to the team at Cryptic for recognizing the need and executing it so thoughtfully.

    Thank you.

    Pretty much this.

    Cryptic really got it on the nose with this. I'm really liking the new EP now, and I can't wait for his personal touch on the game to come in in a couple of months.

    Beautiful and fitting tribute to a truly great man, Cryptic. I applaud you.

    I was unable to attend the livestream due to illness, but I am loving the recording. Very touching.

    Thanks for the great work. Statues are terrific. Good job to all.
    One small thing about the plaques list of those who've passed ( probably already mentioned) It seems Jeffery Hunter(Capt. Pike) is missing from the roll.

    Perfect! I was going thru social channels and making a list of all the names I have been sent. This will help a lot with that task :)

    There are only two instance for Vulcan just now. Party horns a plenty in both.

    Also, how did you manage that cool telescopic zoom in from the top of the stairs? Is that a Dev thing or is it just one of those technical thingies I do not know about?

    Just watched the live stream recording and have to say after seeing the statues without the disco balls and party horns and other peope spoiling the feel of respect on Vulcan i have to say this is very good the statue on Vulcan and the wings on the one in new Romulus shows both lives he has as a reunificationist as well as a federation. However i believe there should also be a statue of him at Starfleet Academy to show his human side rather than just a plaque but thats just me being nit picking at this time
    Good work
