Today I met my father

[Caiburn]

My father died 2011. When Frontier offered Backers to add NPC names to the name database, I added his name.

Today while exploring an anarchy system, I ran into a random Viper and scanned it. It was his name, dangerous and clean.

Dad, hope to see you again out there.

Wow!! What a feeling!

Now that is a feel good post OP - hairs on arms must have moved -
Special moment (-:

 

[Brodie]

Sorry about your father bud, but a great way to memorialise him!

Incidentally "Dangerous and Clean" is now going to be my prefered headstone epitaph.

right in the feels :c

Amen. My Dad died a few years further back than that, but I suspect if he was in-game, he'd definitely be rated Dangerous, too He'd probably be Wanted, though, if only for doing silly things like trespassing in Sol without a permit, or mouthing off to a System Authority pilot after a random interdict-and-scan. Probably both, and repeat offenses


Thanks for putting this out there, Caiburn. Best way to honor them is to talk about them and tell their stories. That's what I do

Hugs man.

My brother died in 2012, he's in the game too.

Hopefully i will meet him soon.

 

[Stoo]

A fitting tribute.

 

[masje]

Already the game is giving people memories.
Did the same thing for our son.

 

[Elessarus]

Wow dude! I felt emotional right there. It never even occurred to me to put my dad in there (who is long long gone). Hope you see him again!

 

[Tiggo]

omg what a great idea to memorize. feel with you buddy.

 

[Deadmeat]

My Dad's in game too. Died 2012 of lung cancer (turns out smoking is bad for you).
Hoping to meet him again soon.

 

[Katkon]

What a wonderful story!

Reminds me of a story I read a while back about a kid who used to do some rally game with his dad on the 360 anyway here is the story

there is life after death, maybe just not what we think

 

[N6MAA10816]

Respect.

 

[Sanderson]

As a father this made me cry. For real. Fly on space dad, god speed.

 

[Spooner]

Thumbs up from me.

Commiserations man.

 

[Hootmon]

Simply awesome.

Unfortunately, I can relate to the OP there.
I have seen a screenshot of my Dad's name, but I have not seen him in game yet.
It's a nice thought to think he is flying around the galaxy, it's what he would have wanted.
