(Read the thread idiot, i said i RECREATED THEM to match the original models to learn, they are in fact mimics, but not the defacto downlaoded models ( most of which i could not load in the 3d app i use, ) i used essentially blue prints of the geometry. Now how is that ripping, its remodeling, and its one of the easier ways to learn)

before you start flaming perfectly good modelers who create there own stuff from scratch I suggest you (read the thread)

in this thread on page 2 Reynen clearly states this

5: I have recently found out some people have stolen our models and our claiming then as their own. Here are SOME examples of the models spawn has created himself. (THIS IS NOT A FULL COMPILATION)
**************
now I realize this will open me up for your disrespectable flaming but nighthawk is a good friend as is Micheal Stetson, Matt Tarlings and Stefan May the people who created the original models you have (recreated / mimicked) now I am not going to argue whether you did in fact mimic the models you may well have done. However I will say the textures you have used look exactly the same as the original ones. Did you mimic those as well?
It seems strange how all this MS stuff started cos Starfyre studios wanted to copyright the stuff you said you had all made by yourselves so others couldn’t steal from your mod, I hope this doesn’t include these ships, since if it does then by all means copyright your stuff, then all other modders need to do is mimic the code or models and place it into there mod then they too can call them their own stuff.
If I made a game that mimicked freelancer down to the designs and detail of the skins but called it startrader I would still be sued for copyrighting there original idea.
So before you start calling these models yours I suggest you e-mail the above mentioned modelers and ask there pomission before converting them and copyrighting them in your own name. since this could really end you up in trouble since I know for a fact that Stefan may has a copyright license for his models including the hammerhead since he got permission from the creators of SAAB:
Now I would not generally make a post like this but I have been around for a while and this kind of thing really does annoy me, as a modeler myself I take great pride in what I create and I know if you Mimicked one of my ships and called them your own I would be really pissed.
