Didn't really know where to put this so hopefully this works out.

I can guarantee that none of you know this man, but you know his voice. Stevo (The voice of the Valiant Class Capital ship) Just passed away in a car crash this morning. He was driving his son down from Colorado to Texas when the car got hit. Fortunately his son survived the crash.

His cousin was Don "Sonny" Strait the English voice actor for Krillin from Dragon Ball Z, as well as the Toonami T.O.M. So when he heard what I was working on he was super stoked to give voice acting a shot. We had a blast hanging out drinking beer and recorded that slight Texan drawl. I've known him for many years, but honestly the time spent working on the mod with him will be how I want to remember him. Now that memory has been immortalized into this game.

Stevo was a good friend, a great co-worker, and was fucking hilarious, carry on you sexy bastard!

Couldn't have put it better, Sancho.

I don't think there's a person here who hasn't had this line stuck in their head:

Also, remember, that's Vice Admiral.

I'm sorry for your loss, Sancho. It will certainly add something extra when I hear the ship's captain speaking.

Crap man that's gotta be something. I think if there is some dedication section or if there was a dedication moment in the intro vid to the mod in the future, he should be included

I would recommend this as well as a list of births. However childish a hobby some may make modding out to be, and even game development in general (even if this attitude is changing), our participation in this project inextricably binds it to the events within our lives, and one another. We've witnessed lay-offs, hirings, promotions, cross-country migrations, graduations, births and now, unfortunately, deaths. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we and our fans should recognize this.

I'm with Jr and Ember, and to say no offense to the other voice actors I liked that Valiant's voice the best.

Ah, sorry to hear that.

I hope the son is ok.

It was an honor to have such a voice feature in our mod.

Rest in Peace Sir.

I'm sorry for your loss Sancho. Rest in Peace buddy.

I think it would be good to do a Credit video of some sort, even if it's in the actuall mod. Maybe a video showing all the people who have contributed to the mod in some way shape or form (if their content is actually in the mod of course). It can even reside in the .zip file you guys use to distribute the mod. Actually, I'd be down to make something like this if its wanted.

I hate to chime in on this here, but we're going to have a professionally done intro video here eventually, after he gets done with DotR. I imagine we could tack on a quick list of births/deaths/whatnot at the end of that, but I'm disinclined to add much more than that. The finer details can be worked out later, I feel it would be distasteful to discuss it here, but it's being mentioned so I've said my piece.
