CLOSED* CONTEST: Default Stations Submission

[Mered4]

I'm keeping my station on the small side, so that it's more manageable for folks in-game.

 

[WaffulMann]

I guess I can't really do much more this week. This is going to be close.
Is water allowed?

A mining station built into an asteroid. Don't know what category it should be colored for, but I am thinking probably for the trade guild.

This station looks amazing. I would love to be able to find this floating around the universe.

Yes, but it's not his :/

Everybody is complaining that the import from planet minecraft is against the rules (the asteroid mining station). but isn't the station tenk11kamikaza built the same deal? i mean, it is from a source outside the game, and isn't technically his idea. It is a gorgeous station but thats not really fair to dismiss one person and not the other

Skylords' station is indeed based on (probably copyrighted) material of others, but is not a direct copy smoothed out and interiored. I do however, frown upon the act of replicating ships. It feels less original...

And especially when it already comes from another game, as I had stated in the edit of my earlier post; It might be copyright infringement to put Skylords' station in the game. (I was not saying I did not like the looks of his station - He did build it himself, too.)

Anyhow, the two stations are not all as similar in the way produced as you say they are. One is blatantly copied, and smoothed out, while the other is a design based off of a concept art of another game.

Personally, I find Skylords' station better, but I think neither should be in the game, as both designs are - or are based off of - others work.

ok i see.. just to be clear,key features are removed (some were nonexistent on my station from the start),there are no big hexagonal solar panels on all 4 sides,and i just removed the whole half front of my station (200k blocks removed just from there) ,yes...i took the idea from a concept art (who didnt) ,shipyard on the back is my idea,..and yes- as soon as you remove key features,it stops being copyrighted,even before my station could stand on its own,as i put my own style into it,i could copy/paste the whole copyright law here if you want, my station does not violate anything,its my original work ,and i swear if this does get disqualified i will never build anything ever again for public,its not a threat or act of anger,its just how i feel,this is original build,and it will stay like that

I do see it as a -quite- original build. The fact it is heavily inspired by a concept art for another game simply worried me, in the fact it might cause problems between the dev team and the owner of the artwork.

Just precaution, really.

I have this old station i built arround a shop, but it's made entirely out of terrain blocks as it is suppost to be alien. I'm wondering if it's possible to submit it for the abandoned station category, and if i can should the 2 "coccoons" have interior as they are currently hollow.

After trawling through the copyright act. I found this:

"The making of an adaptation of the work is an act restricted by the copyright in a literary, dramatic or musical work."

This sentence does not apply to what we are talking about, and its the only relevant thing i found. In principle, I think that your adaption is legal, and will not cause problems for the dev team in the future.

Wait isnt that Dalmont's station...

The owner shouldn't do anything regardless. It's a different medium and enough changes were made to make it skylords own work. How many times have people redrawn the last supper? Could you honestly say that any of us could create a space station if we had never seen one before ever? That's how art works. You take what looks good and you make it your own. Now in terms of the asteroid station, I'm annoyed. I said this before but I do not want to be ousted by someone who ran it through smedit or some thing. That's not fair to others who have spent lots of time on their stations.

For the record my stations are all based off other stations I've seen elsewhere

Spoiler

Shameless self promotion :p

They have similar designs, but I run into problems. I have to scale things down. I have to change shapes. I have to simplify things for the general player. Some things get entirely redesigned. What started as a biodome ends up as a large hanger bay. In the end I have something different.

 

[Criss]

It's not the same but its similar. Too similar. Either its a modified copy or they based it entirely off of dalmonts design.

That thing is awesome and even if it doesn't fit in a category you should still finish it.

[Wtfasaurous]

I don't really know why I just noticed this error, but I've been building using a ship core instead of pressing "M" and creating a station. I'm about to throw in the towel and call it quits if there isn't a way to change my ship core/ship into a station that I intended to build. Any help is appreciated, though I doubt anything can be done.

I think you could actually use this as a basis for a pirate station.

they take what they find and piece together mean looking ships to intimidate

They found this abandoned alien whateveritis and decided to build a base on it. So you would place some reddish structures on it, and maybe change the color of the light on larger areas to red, indicating that the structure is slowly being "turned" into an evil thing of destruction.
The only issue I see here is that those Ice Crystals are rather valuable, but I'd like to see you doing something with this.

Could you honestly say that any of us could create a space station if we had never seen one before ever? That's how art works. You take what looks good and you make it your own.

This. Also, from a certain point there probably was no scifi franchise that didn't take inspiration from those that were there before. I think that everyone of us uses common "design patterns" from their favorite franchise in their builds, and I don't see any problem with that.

So why exactly did you feel the need to copy my station?

To quote the first post: "Do not copy other builds. Builds that are too similar to other submissions will be disqualified."

Not cool.
