Last week the world said goodbye to Spock as actor Leonard Nimoy passed away at 83. As a mark of respect the studio behind MMO Star Trek Online held a vigil for the deceased on the game's planet Vulcan in which many players attended. Now there's been more tributes added in game, not just for Nimoy but for other notable Star Trek related people who passed away before Nimoy.
Cryptic Studios have added not one but two statues to the game, the first on the fountain where the players gathered to pay their respects with the inscription of "Live long and prosper", replacing the central structure that was already in place. A similar statue will also be added to New Romulus with the inscription "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" to commemorate the character's drive towards Vulcan and Romulan reunification in the series.
Black flags of mourning will also be hung in Earth Spacedock, Qo'noS and New Romulus so everyone passing through those hubs can mourn Nimoy's passing.
Memorial plaques will be put into each location as well, bearing not just Nimoy's name but those of the other Star Trek people who have passed away in years past. The memorial plaques can be interacted with and along with the names will show the dates of birth and passing, as well as a personal quote where possible. The names on each plaque will be Majel Barrett, James Doohan, DeForest Kelly, Leonard Nimoy and Gene Roddenberry.
