I think it is a neat idea.. may be difficult to implement and may also end up with a full time position having to be created since a lot of people do pass away unfortunately.. all will be missed of course.. but it may be easier to have maybe an annual event or something created by players themselves who wish to 'go somewhere' together... I was for it 100% at first but the logistics or programming involved etc and all that may make it difficult. I respectable idea however as I too have been moved by the loss of players and the wonderful community outpouring of empathy and sadness which has followed each one. Thanks for loving your fellow human beings Original Poster (OP)
Not really. All Frontier has to do is Set a location and Given a Name of the user. They lock the Account and Their most used ship. Set like a Plane Boneyard. on Elite Dangerous. Maybe a floating Grave marker.

  • Dove Enigma
  • Fisher's Rest
Just to start...
LOL. No, I did not ask about Station name after someone passed. But ask CmdMarty Post "Nice ideas but i can see many problems coming from this." Am I wondering what problems?

You missed the meaning of my post.

Those were problems. Both Dove Enigma and Fisher's Rest turned into proverbial unbridled storms, and they're just two very simple cases.
 
Please name a few.
Well its hard to stamp your name in this game so fake deaths could happen and that opens up bad stuff that come along with that. Then what do you have to prove your passing? Most that have passed won't be involved in this anyway as i doubt my family would notify anybody here or even have my password for such an inquiry. This digital age is full of multi accounts sure some are legit but its so easy to fake stuff!

I think it would be hard fake a death certificate.

Yes, but do you know how does a death certificate looks like in Spain, f.ex? I don't.
It would require a whole new department of people specializing in international law to be created to check claims and filler out idiotic requests.
Even if this idea might sound like something interesting for some of you, for FD it's simply opening a can of worms. Noone will even seriously consider it.
 
It was a nice idea but alas if it can't just be a nice thing but instead has to start worrying itself with practicalities and death certificates and proof and stuff then it's a no goer. Shame.

No, you don't need all that hassle. Just an email asking if they are dead and give them 24 hours to answer. No answer, problem solved. :D

what?

While a joke...
I think FDev sending out 'are you dead?' emails would be a public relations nightmare.
Imagine the wife of a deceased player reading such an email.... I don't see that ending well.

I think it best to NOT memorialize players in a game.
It really is dancing around a very touchy topic, IMHO.
 
Well showing a death certificate to a game company seems crazy!
...and pointless. So Commander Fred is said to have died and so F.D. want a death certificate to prove it. So Commander Fred digs out his granddads and claims it to be his own. Yes that will prove it, without a shadow of doubt.
