General / Off-Topic Carrie Fisher has very sadly passed away :(

An outpost? Really? She was a Princess, better be a big damn station!! ��

I agree to some extent, although the Rebel Base was often found planet side. Figure she should have a snow base on an ice planet. Do something that resembles the battle scene in the Empire Strikes back and you will hit the mark.

May the Force be with you. Always.

I thought the same thing deep inside me. I imagined a second princess in the game

Memorial to Carrie Fisher please !

Should be in alliance space (sure not in empire space).

Alliance indeed, so the station can be named after a princess. Not many of those in the Federation.

Definitely a fancy luxury Orbis. A short but cute one ^.^

Even though it doesn't fit into the lore of Elite, I wonder if FD could put some kind of tribute to Ms. Fisher on the displays at this station/outpost, rather then the usual advertisements for the ship manufacturers. It would really pay homage to one of the characters of a story that really helped put science fiction on the map.

It's being reported that her mother, Debbie Reynolds, has also died just one day later [sad]

 

[CMDR Ellegon]

Unfortunately, confirmed. Debbie Reynolds, a big Hollywood Star in her own right, died of a stroke just one day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher:

Omg what the hell.... I can't imagine what the family is going through right now.

Apparently, Debbie Reynolds and her family was planning Carrie's funeral when Debbie collapsed. This is so cruel!

Frontier are Trekkies, not .. Warsies? ( Da hell do you call a Star Wars fan? )

Actress Debbie Reynolds dies one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher ? ... the fate exists, I am sure now

Orbiting Naboo, because Leonard/Vulcan. :3
Scratch that, I thought she was born on Naboo, but it was actually Polis Massa.

"Fisher's Rest"? A outpost?! Oh no! Most visitors will first think of "Fisherman's Friend". It could be a bit more precise. And a bit - nicer... :O

I believe that "Princess Leia" would be much more explicit

Shocking....RIP Carrie and Debbie, Grief is a horrible thing

Nimoy got a Station. Fisher gets an outpost. Male Actor => Big Station. Female Actor => Small Outpost. Patriarchy at work.

So, Vera Rubin (discovered/found evidence of dark matter) dies (thread link), tow days later, Carrie fisher dies, then two days later her mother, Debbie Reynolds dies.

Geezes 2016.

Is it because she was tiny? (155cm)

I really do not think that is it, though yeah they could just find a system for her that isn't an outpost, though it seems kinda fitting with her role, (though not her person)
And despite the huge arguments trek vs wars can get.
Trek is significantly larger in terms of episodes, movies and whatnot then star wars, had significantly more impact, add that I can't imagine her character wanting something that big named after herself, she fought for the little guys?

Oh come on.. Don't turn this into a feminist debate. Frontier knows exactly who she was and how much she meant to the world.
