Nothing in my post breaks forums rules, it is simply my opinion. You post, however, did violate the forum rules through name calling, so you are the one who may not be around so long. OPTRE had the foresight to pick an IP that wouldn't be an issue so they wouldn't have to pull the carpet out from under the community. My point still stands.

The more I think about it the more I am convinced this isn't about lawsuit fear, that I think is a red herring. There are so many courses of action that could be taken to avoid lawsuit (which would never come anyway- I am speaking from a point of expertise here) that is is rediculous: they could remove Star Wars from the name, they could tweak the name of assets or change a few details so as to avoid potential issues, or they could be like OPTRE and not give a darn, because nothing will happen... I think this is more about a team collapse as evidenced by developments mentioned during the Storm Trooper release, or perhaps a loss of interest. I'm not buying that this is some sudden change of heart when the mod was born in the shadow of Battlefront, but if it was, how about you guys just hand over the assets to some people who aren't afraid to finish it? We have enough let downs with mods on a regular basis to watch this one die as well...

I'm sorry but I got to say it... You guys should have thought about this before even starting the mod, much less jerking the community through a bunch of hype just for the mod with fancy trailers and release plans, to (predictably) be cancelled. I made a post on another forum stating that when the Storm Trooper thing was so delayed, it was the beginning of the death throes of the mod. Yet again I was right. I cannot but help feel that internal problems with the team is more the reason for the cancellation than a sudden and inexplicable fear of C&D/Lawsuit. This mod was announced when freaking Battlefront was on the horizon! How could you have not weighed the costs more carefully! I cannot say that I will be very interested in any type of independent product from you guys, as I feel this situation demonstrated a lack of foresight that will not transfer well into Indie game development. Well, at least we got OPTRE. They have demonstrated plenty of intestinal fortitude in the face of AAA IP holders, and they have already made a mod with... you know... opposing factions? On another note, why is the modding community for Arma 3 such a mess??? The mods in this game don't hold a candle to the last couple Armas...

This is my favorite mod by far, so I am dying for the next version. . .

*Tap tap tap* Hello? Is this thing on??? Anyone out there? :)

Hey guys since there is kind of a lack of good Sci Fi content compared to the last Arma games in Arma 3 with exception to the awesome OpTre mod. I found this mod called the Macross - Robotech VF-1S and REALLY would love to have it ported to Arma 3 ( it was in Arma 2). I have seen videos of it on youtube in Arma 3 but the author did not bother to share his port with his viewers. Can someone port this addon or tell me how? I have tried to read up on it but it seems pretty confusing, or maybe someone already has the ported PBO on hand? It is EXACTLY what we need for a Sci-fi scenario me and my buddies are doing on Zeus this week. The help would be hugely appreciated!!!
