If the makers of Robotech were able to sucessfully sue FASA for stealing their designs, then many companies should have no problem doing the same.
So far, I see Star Wars, Robocop, Aliens, maybe even some Homeworld!
(On a side note, I am a Battletech fan, long live the Marauder!) -------------------------------- CCP can patch away bugs, but they can't patch away stupidity. |

*shoots you in Archer, supported by Rifleman*
Right, that looks like a bit of a ripoff. Though I sure wouldn't mind having my own Super Star Destroyer -- err, Osiris Kapitalshiffen -- in EVE ;-p

Jesus Christ! Almost everything was ripped offa something!
The wierd spider thing is the warrior drone from starship troopers. The mech looking thing on land is an ED-209 rippoff. Is it just me or do I smell either a hoax, or that these German ppl have more cheap rippoffs than a dollar store, or the SWAP SHOP? тттттттттттттттттттттттттт ROFLBURGERS тттттттттттттттттттттттттт

Edited by: MrBinary on 31/08/2004 23:14:51 I can't say I'd be interested in playing the game at all, but I can at least see similarities in some of the ship models to other more well known franchises. Their modelers should have tried to be a bit more original though.
The closest example I saw, would have to be the 'Star Wars' looking ship...while it reminded me of a certain well known Imperial ship...when you compare the two side by side, the only real thing they truly share is the general shape...and I doubt George Lucal has patented the triangle. If he has we are all in trouble.
But because one thing simply reminds you of another thing, does not give you grounds for legal action. Similarities alone do not mean George Lucas or anyone else, can sue for something bearing a resemblance to something else. There are very, very, very, very few, truly original ideas left in this world.
*edit* As a side note, I just saw some of the screens that look an awful lot like EvE menu screens and such...and I can't say I'm too impressed with copying EvE's unique style. Though it looks like a rip off, is in poor taste, and shares the same blurred double image background that EvE's item menus have...does CCP hold a copyright on that style of presenting things? *edit*
The auto industry is a prime example of companies regularily imitating eachother. One company cannot sue another because it feels its tail light designs were copied for example. Otherwise this would be happening all the time.
Fact, MrBinary

Why on earth are these people even thinking of making games? If you can't come up with anything semi original you have no business in the industry. This is probably the biggest abuse of multiple copywrites I've ever seen, I really hope they are just having a laugh with it and don't actually take that seriously. If they do take what ever work they themselves have actually done seriously they deserve to live in a box for the rest of their life paying off debts to lucas arts.

WTF! Linkage
We are contacting our legal counsel, the firm of Viceroy, Vice, and Roy about this, blatant misuse of our good name.

Evolution..... Just when you thought you were winning.

The background on the main screen is definitely ripped from eve, note the signature star side tips. The message boxes are definitely ripped, icons, etc. If i were on CCP senior management, i would seek legal action. This one is a definite winner
