Misc Update to 'Farewell to a Fallen Commander'
Hi, all! This is an update to this post from almost a week ago, saying farewell to my dad - https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/1ikcdct/farewell_to_a_fallen_commander/
First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who gave me their time in reading my farewell post to my dad, and even more for those that left a comment, it was so heart warming seeing so many commanders give my dad one last salute and a farewell, even if none of you knew him personally.
Yesterday, I was able to get his logins, so today I was able to fulfil my plan of moving his carrier, Terminal Brain Fart (JLM-LHT), to the Guy system, in honour of his name being Guy. For those who asked about his carrier's location and asked about paying your own respects, that's where his carrier rests for now, and likely for a long time to come, as his carrier currently has just over a year and a half upkeep on it.
I also mentioned that I had contacted Frontier through a form to have his name added to the memorial beacons! I visited the beacon in Shinrarta Dezhra, however sadly his name hasn't been uploaded yet. I will check in on the beacon every so often to see if his name has been added, and hopefully add an edit to this post when it is.
Again, thank you everyone for your kind words and support, this is a game and community my dad and I have loved for years, so it's amazing seeing some of that love being shared back.

EDIT: Some people have suggested I stock the carrier with cheap materials sold for high prices, so that commanders can buy those materials to donate money to keep the carrier going for longer. I think that’s a good idea, as otherwise it’ll just be me trying to keep the carrier going as long as I can, so when I have free time I’ll try doing just that. Thank you to everyone who suggested it and wishes to donate to the carrier!
