Honestly a move like this only makes me have ill feelings toward the guy. If he isn't gonna fix it himself then let someone else do it. Or if he's actually working on something, wait until you have something presentable before shutting the other guy down.

Eh whatever not gonna get too worked up over it. As necaradan said, I still have it. :P

And how exactly do you know that he hasn't been updating "his" mod? Eh? How do you know that? Do you think it might have come as a surprise that he came back to the forums and saw his work in another mod without having been asked prior to its being used?

I didn't dismiss that possibility, I specifically said that it would have been more appropriate for him to wait until he had something PRESENTABLE (by that I mean, released) out there, before shutting this guy down.

And you could do without that tone.

Hey gyro, Igard has offered that you help develop his Star Trek mod. Just making sure you know- check their thread. I think you should take him up on it.

Igard, what gives? I'm not gonna go on any sort of rant, just let it be known that I'm upset that you didn't let the Star Trek Universe guy use your stuff- AT LEAST until you have something of your own to present!
What a dick move really...
Respectfully speaking Varlun, I think YOU started the opportunity for negative tones and rebuttal by the above
highlighted statement. Igard has many friends on this forum (including myself) that by the time they read that
remark, may or may not respond negatively as well.

Nevertheless, I hope all this will soon be quashed and pass over. Then there will be possibly two (or more)
Star Trek Themed mods (or Star Wars, Eve, X3, etc) for everyone to enjoy. In closing, just want to say that
Tophat1812 did lose his cool a bit. I think it's because he knows how close Igard's Picard Era mod is to
completion (since he's on our team testing it for release) and then read your post. Hopefully we can
all just get along on this matter from here forward.

Star Trek Universe is a pretty badass name, and I do think that should be transplanted over to the other mod...

Thanks for your opinion imdahman. It IS a good name. Remember though, we have 4 eras of Star Trek mods. But Igard will be making the final decision as
to what it will be named, and at present, it is what it is.


Just for the record...we have spoken with Gyrospeck and have come to terms on this whole matter.
We look forward to working together to make certain that, from the Star Trek viewpoint at least,
Distant Worlds Universe is fully covered!

necaradan666, Igard or anyone else may use my work as long as credit is given.

Varlun, I am the one responsible. I did not seek his permission and instead just used his assets. He's been working on his mod for years, so I respect where he's coming from.

Igard was kind enough to offer ”Once the official Picard Era mod is released you can certainly take whatever you want from the mod and add your own 'twist' to it. So your thread is not dead, just going to sleep for a little bit.”

Additionally, I have offered to contribute and test Igard’s Star Trek mods. I’m sure we can accomplish more together than separate. [:)]

Thank you all for your support.

Glad to hear it was all settled. Admittedly, I've seen more than my share of great mods, and even entire modding websites be utterly destroyed by people bickering over credits. The real victim is the community which misses out on awesome work, dedication and fantastic mods. Thus I am relieved to know that work will continue. No sense in a duplication of effort - might as well have all involved working on one singular super-mod for the Star Trek milieu.

Can we have any sort of schedule on when the next version of the mod is going to be released, or any other info?

The number of mature statements in the latests posts makes me believe we get to some very cool DW mods to see.
