Happened across this thread by chance, and I've got a question.
IF Discovery ever finally decided to get on board with this, and due to copyright infringement, etc. What is to be done about faction names?
The Outcasts, Junkers, IMG, Zoners, Xenos, Nomads? Those faction names are iconic. Take that away and suddenly it isn't the same game, even if it has the same concept.
I love the idea of a new engine with vast new possibilities, but this ^ would be heartbreaking.

Xoners, Zenos, ING, Jonkers, Outlaws
dunno... its an rp server, I guess someone will figure out some similar new names...

I am thinking that sort of question is trivial at this stage of development.

If he doesn't get money for it, then there is no problems with the copyright. Right?

Dunno, few weeks ago all mods containing BSG content were removed from ModDB, I wasn't much into this stuff but you can get the idea.

I'm also curious how you'll manage to host / administer the servers that can support 1000+ players slots at a time. Servers aren't exactly cheap and 24/7 administrative support isn't either. And if this game gets popular enough to garner that many players, you are easily looking at Microsoft slapping a Cease and Desist letter.
Not that I'm trying to discourage you.

No. Copyright enforcement isn't restricted to sellable products. Plenty of free-to-play fan games got shut down by their respective IP owners.

I do recall that people who get millions of hits on their Youtube videos do receive a substantial amount of money via just loading advertisements.
A community of some 10,000+ people coming and going constantly on a forum? Jackpot. You could almost say it is self-sustaining.
Unless of course, I am mistaken somewhere...
