Hello Commanders!

It is with great respect and appreciation that I am able to reveal how Frontier has honoured Evelyn.

In the ED milky way there is now a neutron star with a gentle rotation named Evelyn's Light. It is in an area close to Colonia and matches the fantastic fiction that Drew authored.

In this system there are some treasures for explorers to find. You will be able to hear from her heart and read her words.

She is out there, always with us, her memory and love is present in the game as long as it is running!

Thank you to Stephen, management, and the devs who put this together.
I don't think there is another company out there who would care this much!

o7 and much love commanders!

I’m very happy to hear that. I’ll visit the system and pay my respects as soon as possible.

Having said that, kudos to Fdev for the work they did on this.

Sometimes somthing out of the black hits you in the heart. This thread is one of them. I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of a young CMDR.

Fly safe young CMDR

Thank you Frontier.

I get paid on Friday so I'll gladly put a tenner in the kitty for the charity, Mike.

I didn't see this post, at the time of posting. As a father myself, words fail me. I'm glad a light in the ED sky is now hers. Fly safe brother.

A fitting and lovely tribute.
The stars will shine brighter forever more...

Kelster87 · Sep 17, 2020

Well, I'm off for a look see, if I can find it.

No, don't tell me, I want to find it. I will take hints though.

EDIT: That was a little easy..

WR3ND · Sep 17, 2020

Thanks so much for honoring this request, Frontier and Drew!

I will definitely have to make a visit to show my respects and check out what's what.

Best regards and considerations.

TScal12 · Sep 17, 2020

I'm so sorry for your loss Mike.

Kelster87 · Sep 17, 2020

Mad J Wagar's visited.. Course partially plotted. I'm off to see the Light.

StefanOS · Sep 17, 2020

My condolences to you Mike and your family. What a great loss.

See you again Commander Evelyn.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

This is excellent work by FDev.

And by you jellowiggler! You've done your little girl proud. I'll be visiting Evelyn's Light next time I'm logged on

EDIT: Evelyn's poem is beautiful

Awesome stuff. Top job, Frontier folks!

I have read the thread this morning after a friend notified me in our discord.
Words are not enough to express what I felt reading your post.
I am so sorry for your loss and I can not imagine how you and your family feel...

One of my daughters was born just 2 days after Evelyn and I can not bear even the thought...

My sincere and deepest condolences.

I wish the best for you and your family.

TieKnee · Sep 17, 2020

Condolences, very touching post. I will visit the star in the next few days as I'm close to Colonia.

I arrived at the memorial today .. FDev did good !

MishaTX · Sep 17, 2020

I don't know what to say, except that I can't even begin to imagine how your loss feels, having two strapping young men of my own who never had to face what your beautiful little girl had to face.

But I do want to thank Drew and FDev for what they did to, I hope, soften the blow. I'll definitely be making a trip to Evelyn's Light when I make my pilgrimage to Colonia, and I want to also "curse" Drew for making me all slobbery and verklempt upon having read his beautiful story. You're a real mensch, Drew.

From stardust we came, to stardust we will return. Your credits held safe within the hearts you touched.

VR Jay Le Chardon · Sep 17, 2020

Drew Wagar wrote a short story for Evelyn, and that in turn became an audio book, which he has posted to youtube today:

Heck yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about. Looks like I'll have to plan a trip to this area. And a Neutron no less. Touche' Fdev.... Touche'
