Ship name change in rememberance of...

As some (or a few) of you know, a couple years ago, an allegiance player whose nickname was Optimus passed away and even though we made a map and held an event in his memory, i believe that we should rename a ship after him. I can't quite remember what his favorite ship was nor faction but if anyone knows then we could do it. I know it's not a big deal but im just asking if it's possible. Perhaps you could take a vote on it or i could get more people to vouch on the decision.

Thanks

From what I remember, his wife didn't want anything special for him.

We have a sector named for Titty Baby who also passed on. Perhaps this is an option.

I think you're right.
After SPQR fell apart she accepted an SF tag, but has not been active much. I think she has moved on...

I'd like to suggest a different option:
Seeing how Optimus's time in Alleg was so closely related to SPQR, perhaps a Roman themed something or other would be a respectful indirect cenotaph.

Optimus was BS, DaWife/Mistress was SPQR then SF.

Seeing as his name was Optimus Prime I would suggest a Transformers themed something or other would be a respectful indirect cenotaph.
