STEPHEN HAWKING MEMORIAL EVENT

[hermattila]

I brought along my lasers, as I always do in this build, but not a chance for the PVP meta for anything but maybe running away. I'll be in Open when I make it there. Hopefully the salt miners will respect the occasion accordingly. The drama gets a little old, and I would hope respecting Steve goes beyond that. We shall see.

We r On WP2 a wee bit late as planned

We r On WP2 a wee bit late as planned

I came from Dav's Hope, since I don't have access to Sol, so haven't been following the waypoints for the procession, but I should be there at Hawking's Reach on time.

Regards, Commander WR3ND

I'm also armed and not dangerous.

Thanks for this opportunity and memorial. These are my last words here, in case they were missed:

Some people can not understand infinity. It is not something you can hold within your mind, but an acceptance of what is based on our limited perceptions. We can work with that, and even move beyond it. Steve, you have helped us in this respect more than you could ever know. You will be missed and more importantly perhaps, remembered.

For anyone livestreaming this event or otherwise, could you post a link to the video here? I'm talking about it on Discord now to some people who missed the event.

I was about to ask if anyone wanted to see the footage I took. I was streaming/recording the whole event, though I only actually caught up with everyone at Hawking's Reach (there seemed to be instance issues in Sol).

It probably isn't great footage, as I haven't configured the camera suite so it is just my view from the cockpit. My flying skills are also hampered by only having proper use of one hand, currently! Am more than happy to pull out the Hawking's Reach arrival from the 3 hours of footage, though. Will try to get this online later. ​

Ok... Once again, apologies for the quality, and the annoying X-Split logo (which I have finally worked out how to get rid of ). But here is my footage from Hawking's Reach.

Good on all those that took part - I'ts a shame I opnly just thought of it now, but it owuld have been super cool to form ships up in a Kemplerer rosette, that would have made an amazing screen grab.
