You need to read the previous parts of the discussion then.
We clearly stated that this is server side; for the propose of in-game security, possible shipwrights' markets and to stop plagiarism. Where in all of our discussion are we taking anything from you that you would not already be without?
Please explain your point of view rationally. Don't let a knee jerk emotional reaction get the better of you.
I find it totally rational to not read 10 sites of discussion and expect OP to update his request if the discussion changed it.
What is taken from me is obvious: I want the freedom of design and copying designs from others, I want not to have some bit in any blueprint or ship core meta data changed so I get restricted in building even with others guys stuff. It would destroy the purpose of downloading or locking at other peoples ships if every 2nd guy flags it as non-copy. And dont come with this "its plagiarism and all of that its my creation stuff" - this is a common misconception: if you create something it
should not be copied in games, but you actually
want this no-laws given environment in games, because its the only place you are free within our society. - Why do you play a game? Because you can do things you can't do in real life. Starting to cut everyones freedom with this blueprint saving rules, does exactly what you don't want: you want freedom more than every risk of having regulations to fear of using some copyrighted material. Trust me, if you would experience the blueprint-save regulation once implemented, the next guy come with the next regulation. And then everything gets regulated. Better don't take this risk at all and life with some guys who just copy stuff from time to time in my opinion.
Ah and to question your motives:
Why does it hurt you if some1 copies your blueprint on a server? Does it take away money? Does he insult you? (actually he honors you but you just want to see the negative side...) Does it cut your rp experience? (I think if I see a house in real life I can take a screenshot too and rebuild it - if you want to deepen rp then introduce a court into the server and suddenly you would notice: oh man for 10 block design copied its not worth the fuzz to bring a man to court just let him have his fun; or if he copies all the ships: then the owner might just ban him from the server - i see no real threat to rp because owners and users can very nice cope even in character with copying designs). And whats all that fuzz for a drm function about, if a player just can take a screenshot and still rebuild it? I think the only thing that is hurt is the following: some1 else does need less time to copy a design he likes and you made. But is any design in Starmade so incredible original, that implementing a DRM-function is neccessary? Is this cry for regulation justified? And why is it so bad for you in person if someone else copies your stuff? How does it hurt you in person? The only thing thats hurt is your ego, because you don't want some1 else having an easier game than you. But if this guy copies your stuff
he admits that you are better than him - why feel bad about it? If he cant come up with a nice design man, have some mercy. Not everyone is as talented or has so much time. You want just all the flowers and clapping hands for yourself, and that I can't stand, because there is no money or creativity at stacke. Its just your ego that cries for DRM. Thanks man.
If its server side its fine, but because the thing is too complicated and many side rules must be taken into account, I am totally against it. And OP did not state this in his starting post and until he does not learn to use the edit function I have a right of my opinion. Also I would still be against it, because the devs might implement it in a "not server side way" and that is risk I don't want to take.
And don't get me wrong: I am writing emotional, because I can't believe the majority thinks even taking one step into this road of regulation and cutting away freedom for security is good, because they care so much about their little ships they don't want to share with others. Guys it's only about ships in Starmade, be proud if some1 else likes the design instead of being so selfish and cry for drm functions.
Also I think the argument about "having a drm function gives us more creativity" is absolute nonsense. In germany so many youtubers experience less freedom in creativity because all the songs and some games are within copyright-laws. And in Starmade it just helps people to use other guys designs. Actually the opposite of cutting away creativity would happen: they would take an existing design and make something new out of it. That would happen. And this happens right now in Starmade. And I dont want that to change because you guys can't see whats up. Do you really think some1 gets less creative, if he can copy your stuff? He learns from it. I learn from other guys design. I copy designs every day and with that I get more creative every day because from the copied desgins I engineer my own design and my own style.
