Following the news of Star Trek and X-Men actor Patrick Stewart's death yesterday, fans of Star Trek Online have been gathering to pay tribute to the beloved actor – and request that he be permanently remembered in the MMO with an addition from the developers.
Patrick Stewart died age 86 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia, leaving behind a legacy of legendary characters, from Professor X to Star Trek's ever-charismatic, Earl Grey-loving Captain Picard.
It's no surprise that this legacy is evident outside of television media, too, having made its way into Star Trek Online – Cryptic Studios' 16-year-old MMO based on Gene Roddenberry's sci-fi franchise.
As countless posts online show now, folks are using the game to pay tribute to Stewart. "The memorial for Patrick Stewart in Star Trek Online is growing," as one thread over on Twitter reads, an image of players holding torches in-game attached. Another on Reddit sees starships gather amid the stars to remember the actor: "For Sir Pat."

" Perhaps the most notable of all, however, sees a fan hoping to draw Cryptic Studios' own attention. "With the heartbreaking passing of Sir Patrick Stewart, I would like to propose something meaningful that could become a permanent part of Star Trek Online," the post reads.
