"I, Jurius Doctor, and the undersigned, petition Crowd Control Productions (dba CCP Games) to label of the presently unnamed planetary fracking ores “Nemoyvite” in honour of Leonard Simon Nemoy, RIP.
I can think of no more fitting honour to the memory of a man who has played a great of science fiction, and who, on the destruction and rebirth of a planet, played a character immortalized by his return from the dead. Who has, in his personal life, forwarded the arts through photography, writing, music, and charitable works.
Further, if CCP is so willing, I would posit we should name a moon or planet in EVE in his honour."
Also, 23k years in the future, but the game is full of ancient names of nordic history. So naming something after Mr. Nimoy shouldn’t really be an issue. The argument about his name being forgotten is silly.
No one in New Eden speaks English either, but we still RP in English mostly and we even make IC (In-Character) jokes and puns that rely on English vocabulary, grammar, pronunciations, spellings, cultural context, etc. Sooo yeah, as an actual roleplayer, I don’t see any problem with a name like Nimoyvite. Obviously in lore and RP it wouldn’t be named after Leonard Nimoy the 20th-century actor and photographer, it’d be named after a vaguely similar figure at most—more likely named after nothing in particular. Just there for OOC (Out-Of-Character) recognition and appreciation.
