So, you guys still don't get it, do you?
We KNOW that Rick Knox (aka P81) has a fairly open policy in regards to usage of his ships. Seeing as the models themselves are extremely outdated by todays standards, it's understandable that Rick would no longer care if it's being used without his consent or not. That being said, I see nothing in that screenshot that would indicate that Rick Knox "joined the team" as you guys claimed he had.
The issue at hand, which afaik have yet to be corrected, is the incorrect usage of OTHER fan-made models, such as DJ Curtis's Galaxy Class, and a few other models (such as the 3rd Era Defiant Bridge in one or more leaked images/versions). Models which at one point or another, was part of the "BC2" project, and which never was allowed to be used by the original authors. Infact, you guys blatently "stole" said models, and claimed them as your own. And instead of proving that you had taken away the models that you were not allowed to use (by the modellers), you claim "well, you have no rights anyways, so we'll use whatever we'd like".
In short: Nothing has changed. Rick allows you guys to use his outdated models. Good on you. But the remaining models are still in violation of "fair use" policy, which in most cases involve ASKING the individual modellers for permission to use their models. Permissions, which as of yet have not been obtained.
