You kinda missed the point. This protection would not apply to CC builds. That stuff is public domain. It places no restrictions on the original creator to place designs on CC. If they don't want a design to be unavailable to the public, they just don't upload it. It's no different that...

My post got burned up in the flame wars... Luckily, I saved a copy...;) This is what I've come up with so far. let me know what you think. You build a ship/station/structure, and when saving the bluprint, at which time you select one of these three options. - Create "original blueprint"...

1) Agreed... 2) Agreed... 3) I'd like your input on the 3 options I presented earlier; as we may already have a way around this issue. My "Licensed blueprint" and "Original blueprint" options will allow for repairs and modifications of a purchased ship. They just can't copy the blueprint...

Yes! A true arms race with actual battle testing and not this incessant spy crap. Case in point; I once took a Pathfinder on a little PVP engagement against an ally. Two ships in the 8,000 mass range but different designs. My PD turrets thinned out any incoming missiles and my armor held...

This is my free floating 360 degree coverage planetary defense turret I used to have a problem where upon loading my sector, these things would come apart from their spherical carrier bases and start wiggling out of control... The end result? LAAAAAAAAAAG!!! :eek: They were near a...

A line needs to be drawn. The function of a server admin is to administer the server. As an IT professional who deals with similar issues on a regular basis, I cannot in good conscience support making an admin's job any harder than it already is; not for a video game. To do so would be...

You've convinced me. Admin rights should stay. If you run into a crappy admin, get off the server and find a good one.

Outright template banning seems a bit extreme. But if you mean, "can't copy a chunk from a protected ship", then I have no problem with this. After all, a "licensed blueprint" will have copy protection turned off. The same could apply to template restrictions Valid concerns. Although...

Allow me to add some input. I have personally witnessed and experienced less than honorable behavior from certain admins in StarMade. Are all admins like this? Absolutely not. Most admins I've met are pretty cool but some can let the power associated with being an admin go to their head...

I think that's a good idea too. Credit the original designer so that everyone knows who originally built it. It's a shame that some people are still giving into their emotions and ignoring our attempts to make a workable plan that is agreeable to everyone. After all, existing CC builds...

I thought you guys might like that... :D So... We just ended a flame war. I'm hoping we don't pour gasoline on the smoldering remains with another round of pointless arguments. Regarding Community Content; I can appreciate Gasboy's concern. On the other hand, my addition to the...

Hey man, It was fun for a while but he's just going to keep derailing the thread and taking up space on the page. There's a word for that... Spoiler; it start's with the letter "T". It's best to just ignore him at this point. I already am. That way, we can focus on the discussion...

Well, now that you put it that way... bye...:p

...and you haven't explained how. ...and you're the only one who does. This isn't personal. We don't hate you (at least, I don't). This is a game. You've started an argument and we are countering your argument. I actually find this amusing. It's unfortunate that you don't. Besides...

My faction; The United Star Axis and their ship/armor/weapon designs were created quite a few years before StarMade even existed and they were created long before I owned a computer or any electronic media beyond audio cassettes. While they are now represented in a digital environment, the...

Bullseye! We are all here for one reason; we love to create. Plagiarism of ideas is a massive deterrent of an artist's willingness to share with the public. Jojomo you need to get off the business kick. We aren't CEOs, we are artists. We create for the sake of creation itself. Any...

That's why I suggested 3 options. I'm trying to plan around these issues. What do you think of the options I posted in post #97?

I think he's referring to builds that aren't spawned in but rather created on a multi-player server. A structure built in this manner could be lost in case of a bug/crash/server reset. I wouldn't mind letting admins have this ability IF they do not abuse it. How do you guys feel about an...

Actually it's not. Calhoun is indeed accurate in saying that our ships are not digital material. They are the culmination of the knowledge and experience of a creative mind as well as its ability to problem solve, and generate aesthetics. These things are neither tangible nor digital...

KillaKrazy and the others have totally nailed it. I have a lot of ships posted only as pictures on this forum. I've been asked via email for designs ranging from my power armor to my ASC Challenger logic rail gun to my 100x torpedo launcher. And you know what? With the exception of the...
