General / Off-Topic Tribute rename for Sir John Hurt

Anybody know a station 1,984ls from the jump-in?

Normally when it comes to in-game tributes, I am normally the first one to protest at Frontier pandering to stupid demands from the players, and I would have too with this one, I mean, you can't be against one in-game tribute and not against another ...

But while I am still against the idea of in-game tributes, this idea is so clever and meta (and you'd need to know your films to get the reference) ... that I actually like that idea.
 
For his role in Alien, proposing the name Kane's Memorial, or Kane's Excursion

Nice idea, he wasn't best remembered for SF so a little "cameo" like this would be good. Perhaps Kane's Excursion could be a Xeno-Biology research station marked as high security +++... but mysteriously abandoned :eek:

John Hurt Memorial... Coriolis, with the words around the letterbox - "wanna take a ride?" (as suggested by audiodistortion).

Remembering that with his acting, he took us on a wild ride through many a film, not just Alien or Contact.

According to EDDB there are 4 orbitals at that exact distance. I vote for this one:

These get my vote.
 
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh go on then.

I was only thinking of him a few days before his death and 'that' scene out of Alien. He played the part of a guy giving birth through his ribcage extraordinarily well. He will be remembered as a fantastic actor for a very long time indeed. For me he was one of the all time greats.
 
these tribute requests will be never ending and sometimes controversial.

What Fdev should do is create an outpost with holo-projectors all around it commemorating each person that people want to pay tribute to for some relation to sci-fi / space. Then they dont have to move mountains to update the stellar forge whenever another person of the sci-fi genre dies (which seems like every month now). Just add another projector. The outpost could not allow any docking and simply exist as a memorial of sorts. For all the past and future dead icons.

Then bonus if they place this thing .5 ly from the jump in point of the system they place it in. :)

I like this one a lot, the thematic approach is a nice touch.

This is a great idea!

Well this is all coming together nicely :D I only suggested Kane's Excursion as of course he picked up the xeno during his excursion. The idea of having it 1,984ls from entry is a good one.

As it's an "excursion" (if that name does go forward anywhere) having it "off the beaten path" might be a good idea, so you have to travel to get to it (a pilgrimage so to speak). Possibly a system 1,984ly from Sol (if there is one)? Just throwing ideas about
