In the meantime, I've released 1.0.4, which does a lot of balancing work and finally adjusts those pesky headlights! (I had to restart the game 126 times to get it where it is now).

Again, I was messaged, but then you deleted the message before I had a chance to read it.
I posted in my original mod topic that I was working on this mod a full 5 days before you posted with the new content that I planed on releasing. GG for mod jacking.

I checked out your profile a few weeks before this unofficial update was realeased (I was tempted to update it myself) and i noticed you had not been online in many months.
From SuicidalKids perspective, I think he was doing the community a good favour by updating the mod, I know a lot of people are exited for the new planes and things (For which the graphics by YuokiTani were available for many months)

In your position i would consider myself lucky that Suicidal update your mod, instead of remaking it to get around your restrictive licence. It would be trivial to write a new mod (named "Jet Planes" or something) and then completely leave you without credit.

Also i checked through your mod topic, and there was no post from you since august, over 4 months ago.

I don't believe it isnt fair to call this 'Mod jacking' , and i do believe if he didn't update it, there would be no update. I think you should instead be thanking him for takin it upon himself to update and improve your mod.

Otherwise, what's the point of a copyright license if people don't actually abide by it?

Yay Someone brought lisencing flamewar back

Excuse me, which part of the mod is the original and unique work of the previous author?
You cant copyright "London is the capital of the Great Britain."
I could start typing by memory and half an hour of dataparsing errors later would produce something extremely alike to this. Because it is standard prototype definition (even more, it was copied completely from base mod and then modified slightly (base is CC 3.0 I believe)). The idea of the plane as entity with empty collision mask is as old as the great ancient Freer's Modding Guide to Factorio_0.4.0 or something.
The graphics are done by Youkitani. And believe he didn't bestow the exclusive rights on those to anyone.

I do believe that licenses should matter when something indicative of invested effort is concerned. (Lua scripts for example are almost completelly unique for each mod)

But when something like this is considered, we all can just pretend SuicideKid just rebuilt the mod. OR he could actually copy a tank prototype himself and do it's fields modifications again.

Wheew, this was gnawing on me for some time, but seeing how the flames have been doused already I couldn't bring it up. Now I can get this out of me, thanks.

It would be nice if you could include it in your download, so everyone can use it.

If you need more translations or translation updates just ping/pm me.

I hope I picked the right git repo.

PS: Thanks for this alien killer mod.

I liked your modding
a cargo plane can not do logistics like robots? * ie that he had landed at a point as well, I flew to point B, pick up cargo from the airport and drove to the base?

Oh, I thought the cargo plane was good, but I'll see about buffing it a bit.
