Seeking model permissions

posted on March 18th, 2014, 5:08 pm

I am currently working on a Star Trek total conversion for the game "StarDrive" and as such I am looking for potential 3d models that I can get permission to use. I could use some help finding the authors to the following fleet operation models:

bor_detector
bor_scoutcube
bor_turret
Borg_Adaptor
Borg_Assimilator
Borg_Dodecahedron
dom_battle_cruiser
dom_bomber
dom_cloning_fac
dom_defender
dom_escort_cruiser
dom_heavy_cruiser
dom_phaser_sentry
dom_s_fighter
dom_scout
dom_warfrigate
dom_worker_ship
kli_bortas
kli_chargh
kli_luspet
kli_mini_platform
kli_qawduj
kli_sang
kli_susa
kli_veqlaragh

I know it's unlikely to able to get permissions to all of these ships listed, but any that I can get will help.

they are all fleetops models and if i remember correctly the dev team has stated that people can use their models as long as they give credit so you should be fine to use all of them

Hell loads of content is used in the star trek armada 3 mod for sins and there is no credit given which is a bit rude.

Well then for me to be more specific, can someone point me in the right direction for looking up the authors/contributors involved for each model, so that I can give the right credits. Also where can I find the statement that the models are in fact for use by other mods for games other than armada or direct fleet operation mods?

Hi McShooterz - please send Optec an email regarding your request, being sure to describe what you wish to use the models for.

If this is for a personal mod that will not be released publicly, we of course have no restrictions.

As far as I recall, we currently do not allow porting to other games, but check on that with Optec. For modifications using the Fleet Operations engine we generally allow, but want to receive a request, as detailed above.

The game is not using the same engine, and this is a project I want to continue to release publicly. I have sent Optec a PM, so hopefully he can chime in on this.
