Brilliant thanks. Pratchett's Disk is a good touch. Wonder if Iain M. got in too...

Are we please going to get some sort of rating info in ship stats for 'conspicuousness'?

While I approve of this, I think it sets a dangerous (pun intended) precedent for people to "request" in-game tributes for famous people who are no longer with us. Is there a starport named after Leonard Nimoy? Robin Williams? The crew of the Challenger Shuttle? You can't arbitrarily out of the blue add a starport in tribute to someone, as noble as the gesture may be, without risking upsetting some people for not adding a starport named after other famous people.

There's always gotta be "that" guy.

Now we just need a fix for ships not turning wanted when attacking you . Having to run away due to fear of turning the system cops on you if you did engage their unwanted ass is a real drag. Especially when they are the outlaws in the system... More than once I've shouted "common cops he is attacking me right infrint of you for the love of god do something"

Nice one Dev Team! Despite a bit of criticism, I hope you do carry on station naming "in memoriam" for those deserving, such as Pratchet, Nimoy et al; I feel it does add a thoughtful element. I must admit it took me a while to figure out "Steve Masters Station", but now I'm up to speed.

I don't know, I mean... Leonard Nimoy having one fits, it was a nice tribute. Terry Pratchett having one fits. Not sure if the Challenger crew has one or not? Or Robin Williams? But even those I could see easily if they are in there. Say something happened to Kim Kardashian... Wouldn't really fit. But I guess that's true, some people would definitely request it.

I'd pay frontier to build a full size Cobra Mk3 and mow down Kim Kardashian .... I'm not sure anyone would notice the loss ...

Comparing her to someone like Nimoy, is like comparing Ghandi to Hitler. One is missed .. the other is most certainly not ...

I spent all night last night downloading 1.2, got an hours gameplay and now tonight it says I have 5hrs download again!! My PC spends more time downloading massive patches on my slow internet than I spend playing the game!

Okay, it took about 30 minutes, so not that bad, it had forecast 5hrs, rant over, wasn't that bad after all thanks :)

Definitely. That's what I'm getting at. I mean, the tributes that are in game belong there. They fit, it makes sense, it feels right. He was right, some will ask for any celebrity who dies to get one... But I don't see it really being a problem. The ones that belong will find their way in, the ones that don't, won't.
