Can anyone tell us what needs to be done to make a mod atari IP free? it would be interesting to know.

Eventually all models would be remodelt, but caydr was busy with tech 1 last I've heared.

IANAL, AFAIK, IDDQD, in the USA, gameplay cannot by copyrighted. Thus, if you remake everything from scratch, but you have a new (differently-named/looking unit) in the place of every single OTA unit (so we have "foo" "foofighter" and "bar" "barthingy" in the place of the Arm Peewee and Core AK) then it's legit.

Fan-art is a copyright-violation, but is generally far more likely to get permission than anything that uses their actual content.

And Caydr gets time to developed his new mod ("Abolition") with all those races.

BA is in very good shape atm... cause PLAYERS are balancing it.

I'll transmit these desires when I have the chance.

Even if the techtree's are mirror images like that? I'd find that hard to believe. Fortunately, of course, none of the TA derrivatives we play have identical techtrees anyway, so it's a non-issue.

I demand an update!

Yes, let's go gravedigging!

(So what, what do you think all those archeologists are doing? Finding long-forgotten art pieces, some of which are still worth of attention!)
