Any idea when it will start?

There's no time listed, but I'm sure I'll catch wind of it soon.

Darthmeow, the guy who routinely gets triggered by anything and everything Dental, has jumped into the frey in the Anton thread:

quote:

And the reputation / public image of Dental drops a little more. As many people were offended by their actions at Mr Nimoy's in-game memorial, you'd think they would have learned their lesson. Alas, before the damage is even healed to the one foot here they are preparing to shoot the other one. As more players witness such behavior, the ragged aura of plausible deniability regarding their nature is further stripped away and they are exposed for exactly the sort of people they are.

To others, I can only say: Ignore to the best of your ability and do not react nor respond to them. Where you find them being disruptive, simply take screenshots and switch instances. Do not give them the pleasure of reacting in anger or showing them they have upset you. They are attention-seekers, and getting under your skin is what they want. Don't give it to them.​​

Also, for the record let me state to Nbreeki and the Dental people, though I have learned through experience that they will neither listen nor care:

If holding a "celebration" in the vein of an Irish wake or New Orleans jazz funeral were the only goal, the ideal way to handle it would be to limit such activities to one instance if possible and no more than necessary if more people attend than a single instance can hold. That way, those who wish to commemorate the occasion in such a way may do so and others who wish a more solemn affair may also do so in peace. Had that been done at Mr Nimoy's in-game memorial, few would have had any issue with it.

However, it is quite clear that if the "celebration" spans multiple instances to the point it is difficult if not possible to avoid, as it was with Mr Nimoy's event, then it becomes more than clear that the intent is to disrupt. Let us see actions speak the truth that mere words can obscure.​​

Turn up to the memorial with grey skinned aliens dressed entirely in pink and purple. Instructions clear.

Or Mexican national colors and say it's the day of the dead and time to celebrate.

Chekov didn't really die. When he got hit by his jeep, Daniels whisked him away so he could become a temporal agent. It all makes sense, now.

Cassandra Saturn is hosting an in-game memorial event for Anton Yelchin next Thursday.

As always, I offered my support, and, as always, trolls are going to troll. The thread has been derailed.

http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1218792/memorial-service-for-anton-yelchin-july-21st-2016

I think we should brave the trolls and have an official Starfleet Dental honor guard there to pay respects.

And now after having it pointed out that 0400 doesn't mean 4pm:

July 21st is the 12th anniversary of the death of Jerry Goldsmith, who composed the scores to 5 of the trek films.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Goldsmith

We should hold a celebration of this man's life and contributions to trek. Let's say at SF Academy at 16:00 GMT on the 21st?

I'm sure Anton and Cassandra Saturn wouldn't mind.

That sounds like a great idea. A way to celebrate the lives of two very important figures in Trek. Since Cassandra is using GMT to schedule the celebration, I wonder if he realizes that his memorial would start at something like 9:00 am in his local time zone.

Theodore Bikel (2015)
Tony Epper (2012) - Drunk Klingon in DS9:Apocalypse Rising

Plus... James Doohan died the day before in 2005.

So just to clarify OP, the memorial start time appears to be right in the middle of typical weekly server maintenance, unless I'm mistaken.
Speaking of CassandraSaturn, they did hold (are holding?) a giveaway for a T6 Connie ship:

All you have to do is sign up to the STO wiki killer STOI.

That caveat? Well... they don't actually have the ship.

"This year marks the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, and we’ll be celebrating the occasion in a number of ways!

One of those ways involves the arrival of new content inspired by the recently rebooted Star Trek film franchise. There will be new “Kelvin Timeline” starships, consoles, traits, officers, training manuals, gear, and uniforms!"

Training manuals for every bridge officer skill, multiples. That way you can train officers you get later in 23C stuff.
