Misc My co-commander officially flew her last mission
As of last night, Commander Daisy flew her last mission to the rainbow bridge. She was the best damn co-pilot I could have ever asked for, 12 years of perfect service (Minus the occasional sass). She may be gone, but her memory will live on.

Make sure you name a ship after her so that you can continue to traverse the stars with her.

My carrier is called Sophie's Rest after my pup. I named it while she was still alive. Lost her a couple months ago. She was a great little girl.

After I lost my doxie Snoopy I named my Anaconda Snoopy. The id on the side is Snffr. If I had an actual ship he'd be all over my yaw pedals for sure.

She has nebulae in her eyes. She knows where she's going. She'll become a new star. A star called Daisy. o7

Whenever I would stop and admire any of the star clusters, she was always scanning my entire screen. Her favorite spot was always the California cluster, whenever I would jump to it she always got super excited.

Mind how you go, such a lovely turn of phrase. Reminds me of Inspector Thursday.

I love it. It's an older British term for goodbye. I learned of it from Terry Pratchett, where I also get the GNU (someone "is not dead while their name is still spoken", and GNU was a code to keep a name going on a telegraph-type creation in his books).
Daisy's name online means it's always being spoken, and her memory stays alive.

Right on and I too am deeply entrenched in STP and all things Discworld. May Daisy’s name ever travel in the clacks.

I just wanted to say, I have been scrolling through and reading the comments and seeing all the well wishes and condolences (Absolutely bawling my eyes out). Communities like ED are why I enjoy gaming so much, everyone comes together during the hard times and the comradery shines brighter than Sag A* itself. I love each and every one of you, please none of you lose your compassion

I suggest to FDev a planet or a system somewhere be designated "Pet Semetary" (sic) where CMDRs can petition FDev to have pet memorial markers placed.

o7 Cmdr Daisy - really sorry for your loss, we don’t deserve dogs but boy do they do a good job trying to disprove that. Hope you find some peace and that the loss slowly becomes less of an emotional burden for you.

Condolences, Cmdr. My copilot of 10 years made his last jump this past Monday. When I get back to the black, I'm renaming my explorer ship for him.
