haha...boiled, I say do it..f-k copyright...the freakin chinese and indian companies are stealing every copyright and getting away with it...why not you?
Because he's not a nuclear power that doesn't acknowledge international copyright law. If the name is different/original and the ships are different/original then surely I'm free to do what I want?
Well originally you said you were going to use the same ships. I think that is why everyone is suggesting legal action would be taken against you.Space exploration games are legal, Elite clones aren't. Unless, of course, you get permission from the copyright holders, and even Braben himself can't do that at the moment.
