Maybe we should ask them and be sure.

We'll also have to ask him to correct his credits. He's using Wiley's JJPrise, not Baz's.

i have a good feeling at least Dave didnt give permissions for his ships to be used...
an explanation from these people should be demanded... unless they think that just giving credit is ok, but i somehow dont think they actually asked...

Morgan · « **Reply #22 on:** March 03, 2010, 06:00:32 PM »

Should someone contact Nightstalker directly then? Get a straight answer (that we'll verify of course).

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 03, 2010, 06:01:47 PM »

i strongly feel that should be done...

Morgan · « **Reply #24 on:** March 03, 2010, 06:03:01 PM »

Then I volunteer to be the "olive branch," I've already registered at these new forums he's set up since the old one has been taken down for maintenance.

EDIT: Message Sent.

I know that if they'd asked, DJ would have said no, it's against his policy, and I don't think 3e's policy would allow them to use the defiant bridge either. Rick Knox's ships are fine with the credit given though.

Ok Nightstalker has responded to me. He listed the authors of the ships included in his work and said this to me:

Quote

Most of these have come from various fl mods I just made sure I chased down the correct credits for the models. I've also got permission for most of the models through OutaLance Shipyards (One's that belong to them that is). I have been in contact with most (Some cannot be contacted anymore either because they have left the community or their e-mail address are no longer valid). Most of the models I got came from Battleclinic (Several I know are from different games like Armada and Bridge Commander). I do not "steal" ships, I always make sure they are properly credited and contact the author if the readme specifies.

Of the BC authors I've seen in his list he gave me I saw Adonis, Dave975, Dkealt, DJ Curtis, MRJOHN, Raven Night, USS Prime, yopyop, Tiqhud, Executioner_de, LC, and probably a few others. If anyone would like me to post the entire content of Nightstalker's reply here I'll do so.

Jimmy are you thinking we may have a new GJO? lol

bankruptstudios · « **Reply #28 on:** March 04, 2010, 02:33:45 AM »

It's obvise that his statement is false. Prime would not have started this topic if he was asked. DJ's ship can't be ported over to another game as per his policy, and LC, well we all know he allows nothing. This being said, he has not contacted many people.

Villain · « **Reply #29 on:** March 04, 2010, 07:05:09 AM »

I had already sent my own cease and desist letter to him with no response whatsoever even still. So he's either lying entirely, or just neglected to ask the ones who would've said no.

And Bones... http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/SSV_Normandy;100212 ;) I really must finish that updated model sometime..

Now... errr... how did I missed it... there is comment left by me... so I did downloaded it ... I'm confused... but hey it's just me :roll I just found it in BC 'to-install' folder lol

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #31 on:** March 04, 2010, 09:11:23 AM »

i think every one of those authors whose ships are being used should be contacted... and if there is only one who never gave permission, we should all do something about this...

Actually DJ has allowed for his ships to be used in Armada 2 and Legacy.

Morgan · « **Reply #33 on:** March 04, 2010, 12:29:33 PM »

I've already contacted LC, Wiley, and Dave and notified them about their stuff being used in this mod. LC and Wiley have confirmed not giving any permissions. I'm still waiting for a response from Dave, but I have a good feeling of what is answer will be.

So that leaves the question of the next step. I can ask Nightstalker to remove the ships if that's the authors wishes.

Yeah, you can. Question is, will he? People like this tend to be stubborn asses about it.

Morgan · « **Reply #35 on:** March 04, 2010, 01:47:12 PM »

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I dont think DJ has ever let someone port to Leg before DJ's old policy I believe stated all ports where ok except Leg with his ok.

cinqnic · « **Reply #37 on:** March 04, 2010, 04:34:16 PM »

hi there i was looking at this post and i dont think its my Atlantis model but it I might be wrong and i did give permission a long time ago for someone to use my Atlantis model I THINK ,but i not sure any way i thought i just say that,
plus i have abit of a open policy as long as credit is given to people who have put in alot of hard work and they say yes to use there stuff.

tiqhud · « **Reply #38 on:** March 04, 2010, 05:05:50 PM »

from the Master Permissions Thread . DJ Curtis no ports to legacy

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #39 on:** March 04, 2010, 05:16:42 PM »

DJ has given a few special specific permissions for a few of his ships to be in Legacy...
this much can be confirmed...
