Followers as in fleets that are part of your faction? The "Player" faction does exist and simply having fleets spawn under it should be enough.

They're all so similar but oh so different at the same time.

I feel that the difference in lighting on the different sections of the face is a bit too solid. Unless that's the feel you're going for... You know, art.

And so I downloaded.

If I remember correctly (As it has been a while since I last played) there are a number of utility vessels available for purchase that allow you to perform these actions. When it comes to stations I do believe that it simply requires a number of personnel and supplies to perform though I may be remembering that wrong.

@ Speedy

I do recommend you play the mod though, the quality of the ships is fantastic, up to both Flashes and Tarts usual fantastic standards, and once Deathfly is done working the updated version of Neutrino, which is also fantastic.

Hell play any of the mods that get updated really.

I'll keep silently endorsing the point then.

Back to the cataclysm.

See stealing in the literal sense of the term is the theft of someone else's property. That is to say stuff that belongs to them, say someone built a house, government comes in and takes it without any reason. Stealing.

Now we look at the mod. FF (as he will now be referred to) as well as the people who assisted with it (As listed on the front page) built this mod from the ground up. This is THEIR work and not yours. It's not that fixing the mod for new versions of the game is a bad thing, but it's PROTOCOL. Respecting peoples work is paramount, it doesn't matter if you're not doing anything nefarious with it, claiming that this is all your doing. It doesn't matter whether FF says yes or no to your request to release a modified version of the mod for the users (AKA US) so long as you've done it, it's polite.

Again the difference between asking forgiveness and asking permission. If FF had said "release variants of the mod if you wish, I don't care." on a previous page of the mod thread this entire argument would be a complete waste of time. But unless you can directly quote our Frozen lord this argument will continue.

Back to stealing. If you were giving out free food to the people would you prefer if people actually came up and asked instead of simply taking it? I know I would, it makes things easier to keep track of.

Also how is fixing a mod and letting people download it just to be nice and actually making no profit out of doing so contributing to stealing or being impolite in any way??? makes absolutely no sense! You are basically saying that I am doing something bad and not constructive... which is actually the complete opposite lol

Common decency. It's not about being constructive, It's called being respectful to someone else's work, yeah sure you may be doing something nice for the users, but if you haven't at least asked for permission from the author it's still technically stealing. It's one thing to ask and never get a response, maybe they've disappeared off the face of the multiverse, in that case I'd say consequences be damned, uploaded it. If they suddenly make a resurgence and then politely ask for you to remove it at a later date? then do so. If you ask and they say no, then it's best to comply with their wishes.

wasn't making my own version  ::)

tried to fix it in a weird way XD thats it lol no worries, not trying to change anything :) I ain't the creator and would ask before changing stuff:)

...

Right before I go on a death march lets clear things up.

1. Fixing up the mod and using it for your own personal use is absolutely fine.
2. Fixing up the mod and releasing it to the public without asking permission from the original author is not fine.
