Tributes to commanders with serious illness

Dear Frontier and fellow commanders,

I have just today received sad news that a close friend, fellow commander and Elite Kickstarter supporter is terminally ill. It would be great to have a way to propose tributes to friends who are on their way to the unknown. I hope Frontier to pick the thought and see if there would be a way to implement it. I know that opening a channel will result with a flood of proposals, but I think the result would be worth the effort. I am sure that the smart people in Frontier would be able to propose a scheme that keeps the effort at a bearable level while making some fellow commanders very happy.
 
It has been done before in certain circumstances (I say certain because I don't know the details, and it's none of my business).

But I don't mean to sound dismissive if I have - I like the idea, and there are enough places in the game.

I'm very sorry of course to hear about your friend and fellow commander - I hope he or she is still able to play whilst unwell, and I wish them the best with what is undoubtedly a very difficult and distressing situation. Thoughts are with you all at this time o7
 
It would be nice to have a monolith type memorial that has the names of each commander who has passed. It could be located in the TIONISLA system, where originally, there was an orbital graveyard.

In Oolite, I have already made a memorial for my parents and added it to the orbital graveyard there.
 
Over 400 Billion... Enough for everyone who's ever lived.
Cool, you can start compiling the list ;)

On a more serious note, great idea. From what I've seen I think these forums have always been the right place to express this. Commiserations to your friend.
 
I've always thought a general beacon of remembrance or similar set in a system permanently would be a decent idea. Not with a bunch of names on it, but simply somewhere we can visit if we want to do so as an act of remembrance to someone close to us in-game, or just a reflective moment, for whatever reason it may be. In my own belief, what matters is the remembrance itself, not the fact that someone is able to announce that they've done it.

Please understand OP, that's a comment on the subject you have raised and not a comment on your own wishes or desires (or any judgement of mine upon them). It's not my place to do those things and I'm certainly not looking to intrude on your grief.
