Hi,

I want to make an EVE mod for Freespace Open and I would like to know where I can find the written permission by CCP to use their models in a free project.

I know we can use the models and textures, I've seen plenty of people do it (EVE-outtakes, CaldariPrimePonyClub, EOH Labs, etc) but I can't find any written policy on the subject, and people on the FSO forums really suggested I find that.

Thanks!

Only way you will likely get a definitive answer unless someone else can link you to something authoritative:

Send a email to Falcon. He will put you in contact with the right people.

I doubt you could get permission for it.

Though if I were CCP, I would welcome things like that. I would make a few simple requirements. You'd need to name the mod something like 'Ships of EVE' and you'd need to have a link to the free trial page in the mod description.

I feel that would attract new players to game at no cost. A niche game needs all the free exposure it can get, in my opinion.

CCP is notoriously tight with their IP. Not saying it isn't possible. But it will take some doing, especially if you intent to make money.

@Doc Fury, Paranoid Loyd, Abrazzar, thanks I'll try the ticket thing.

@Mr Epeen, Soldarius, I don't plan making money on this. It's gonna be completely free. I know that people already do cinematics, wallpapers and ship viewers using those. I've already seen mods on other games too, so I'm pretty sure it's gonna be ok.
