I totally agree with Darkthunder,
Out of all the big mods i have seen for Legacy (Ultimate Universe etc) and the single ship releases posted on legacy files, i reckon its safe to say that 90% of them are ported from armada 2 or BC, and even the armada 2 ports were originally from BC anyway.
I found this especially amusing when i have seen a lot of threads on certain Legacy related forums (which i wont mention) commenting on how BC is outdated, old and pretty much just all together a piece of rubbish and in a couple of threads people actually rubbishing this community and the people who use these exact boards and this site, i wont repeat what was said because i feel some of the language would not be suitable to post on here,
Although i found it amusing i also found it really disrespectful, if it was'nt for BC and its talented modders Legacy would'nt have the ships it has today,
The actions and comments of certain members in the Legacy community is something i have never witnessed before in any other of the Star Trek FileFront gaming communities (Armada, Elite Force, SFC, BC,) Everyone seemed to get along and respected each others Opinions and Mods, But ever since Legacy made its debut it feels like all of that has gone out the window.
I know, there are some real nice and decent people in the Legacy community, but After Reading the last couple nights certain Threads on Legacy forums Bad mouthing BC, Its community and its modders and NOW the issue with DJ's Century class i cant help to think where all this is coming from, Alot of modders have been asked if there ships can be ported to other games before and alot of them did'nt want them ported, and everyone respected that and did'nt bitch and complain, and they never did what was done with the POTD of the Enterprise F, But certain members of the legacy community seem to be totally void of these aspects.
Its almost seems to me like there is a little competition between BC and Legacy, Personally im not a Legacy Fan but both games have there upsides and downsides like everything else in life, And i think people have over reacted about DJ's decision not to allow his ships to be ported to Legacy, You might not agree with him, You might not understand his decision, And you might even think he is being childish and immature BUT it does'nt matter what you think, it is his choice and he has every right to do whatever the hell he wants with his creations/mods/ships or anything else he releases because its his property,
So my advice to certain people in the Legacy community is, Pull your heads out of your arse and stop bagging BC and its community, If you cant have the ships you want in legacy get over it, otherwise the talented modders we have will stop releasing ships and you will run out of things to download off of BC files to use in your "game".
Sorry for this excessive rant but this has slowly been getting on my nerves and building up, No doubt i will probably cop some slack from this but IMHO certain things i have witnessed in the past week or so are not acceptable by any standard.
This is not directed at the Legacy community, Like i said, there are some really decent/friendly modders and players over there, This is directed at the people who insult, disrespect and flat out attack BCC, BC members, The Game and There Mods on a certain non-official legacy forum (you know who you are).
end of rant.
p.s I apologize if this post rubs anyone up the wrong way, it was not my intention..
