Leonard Nimoy Memorial Statues Go Up In Star Trek Online
Following the sad news of Leonard Nimoy's passing, Star Trek fans across the web gave their tributes to the actor behind Spock. To honor the actor, Cryptic Studios, the team behind Star Trek Online, has added Leonard Nimoy memorial statues to specific parts of the in-game universe.
The update, which went live yesterday morning, replaced statues in symbolic locations within the game. Inscribed with Spock's most iconic lines, such as "Live Long and Prosper" and "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few," the new statues featuring Spock's likeness are just the first phase of Cryptic's tribute to Nimoy.
The development team has also added memorial plaques with the names of members of the Star Trek family who have passed away. In addition, Black flags will begin hanging in Earth Spacedock, Qo'noS, and New Romulus next week to signify the loss of someone very important.
