Leonard Nimoy, Spock of ‘Star Trek,’ Dies at 83



Leonard Nimoy, the sonorous, gaunt-faced actor who won a worshipful global following as Mr. Spock, the resolutely logical human-alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise in the television and movie juggernaut “Star Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. He was 83.

Following the passing of Leonard Nimoy last week, space games like Star Trek Online, Elite: Dangerous, and Star Citizen all have heart-warming plans to memorialize the man who brought Spock to life.

Players on Star Trek Online have found their own ways of paying respects to Nimoy alreadyâ€"as MrMorlonelycat posted on Reddit, many players logged in to the in-game version of Vulcan, the planet that Spock hailed from. Hearteningly, around a thousand players congregated and paid their respects.

Given Nimoy's immense influence on the sci-fi world, it's probably not surprising to hear that Star Trek Online isn't the only game memorializing him in some way. Eurogamer reports that Elite: Dangerous, an outer-space sim that lets you take on the role of a space commander, has memorial plans as well. According to executive producer Michael Brookes, an upcoming Elite: Dangerous expansion will bring with it a "Nimoy Memorial station."

Similarly, space sim Star Citizen plans to add something special to the game to commemorate Nimoy. "I think it's safe to say that Mr. Nimoy was an inspiration to all of us on the team, both acting as Spock and because of his core, kind humanity," Ben Lesnick, a developer on the game, wrote on Star Citizen's forums. "We will find an appropriate way to honor him."

Tough news over the weekend - always find it interesting how fans online respond to these events, R.I.P. Mr. Nimoy.

I'm torn. On the one hand - pop-gaming nostalgia (nice touch with Toru Iwatani's cameo) ...on the other hand Sandler and James.... This must be how it felt for the Ghostbusters when they saw Stay Puft round that corner...
