News from: The Republic Mod

I would like to take this oppurtunity to confront allegations that have been made by other modding teams. I have tried to deal with one person privately, but I fear it may have been made public.
We have been accused of stealing from several other mods, simply because we look "identical" to FreeWorlds.
This is after I released 2 or 3 images of TRM ships and our Guidance Beacon, which is our alternative to a Jumpgate. A few weeks after I did this, I was informed that they look extremely similiar to FreeWorlds ships. At first I took no notice: we're both Star Wars mods, of course there are going to be similiarities.
However, much to my disappointment, the team's only ship creator confessed that the two ships he had given to me were from other mods. He did claim, however, that he still made most, if not all of them. I am investigating into this now.
We were unfairly accused of stealing FreeWorld's Guidance Beacon, though what they called it is unknown to me. This is absolutely not the case. We were given the HardPoint information neccessary from the man who made the Babylon 5 jumpgate. He was more than happy for us to use these HardPoints, and so far I have simply applied them to a nav buoy.
So these allegations made against us are completely false. If I find out that the ships were not made by our modeller at all, they will be removed from the mod without delay.
Thank you in anticipation of your understanding.
