Memorials added
Cryptic Studios pays tribute to Nimoy by adding two memorials to its game. The first statue can be found on Vulcan, at the fountain where players gathered following the news of Nimoy’s passing. This statue bears the inscription “Live Long and Prosper.” The other statute is located on New Romulus and is inscribed with “The Needs of the Many Outweigh the Needs of the Few.” Both statues also feature a plaque inscribed with the names of other Star Trek contributors who have died.
People will be able to interact with this memorial and read the names, the dates of their birth and passing, and a personal quote where possible. In this small way, we hope to honor the memory and contribution of those who helped shape Star Trek into the cultural touchstone it is today.

On Twitter, Stewart expresses his sorrow over the news of Nimoy’s passing.
It is with sadness that I heard of Leonard Nimoy's death. I was lucky to spend many happy, inspiring hours with him. He won't be forgotten.

‘I loved Spock’
Obama pays tribute to Nimoy in a statement.
Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future. I loved Spock.
In 2007, I had the chance to meet Leonard in person. It was only logical to greet him with the Vulcan salute, the universal sign for “Live long and prosper.” And after 83 years on this planet – and on his visits to many others – it’s clear Leonard Nimoy did just that. Michelle and I join his family, friends, and countless fans who miss him so dearly today.
