If this was a ***** up "blatant plagiarism" I wouldn't use the same name for the model as the pic had and I wouldn't SHOW the image I used to make the model, don't you think ? It's exactly why I showed them, to avoid this kind of "feedback". First of all I do not know who is the creator of this concept and second I was contacted and asked nicely by someone in your own community to make this exact model, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time making this ship. And that's all there is to it. You like it, fine, you don't, throw it away. Good bye.
Right... the person who actually made that ship you copied from goes by the forum name of Dartstriker, whom I know for a fact the SCRA are aware of, as they originally commissioned him to do that model. He was just on skype yesterday, and it would not have been impossible to get.
It was short sighted and in poor taste to recreate somebody else's mesh without crediting them or attempting to contact them first, particularly when (within the Discovery community and certainly within the SCRA) it is common knowledge who the creator of the original was.
Ultimately it's up to Dartstriker what to do about it, but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I wouldn't accept the content into the mod unless he clears it.
