OK. Do it, then

Anyways, the only reason I can think of of needing to do that would be if we got it on a CGW MODs disk, and got it distributed (which we should try to do)...

Dear Interplay Public Relations Desk,
    Hello, I'm __________, and I represent Hard Light Productions, a very lively community that is dedicated to modifying one of your older games, Freespace and Freespace 2.
    We at Hard Light Productions have been wanting to create a sequel to Freespace 2, the title of which is still being decided. I am writing to see if it would be OK with Interplay if we distributed the game over Kazaa, Fileplanet, and possibly on magazine demo CDs.
    We intend to use the now-free source code for Freespace 2, along with heavy modification, for this project. Please respond to this as soon as possible.

Regards,

_____


How's that?

sounds good, but imo, you can better beg for forgiveness then ask for permession here.

also, start with asking :V:, i know that they don't hold the right to the name, but IIRC, they do hold the rights to the original artwork.

and i miss a link to HLP, and i strongly suggest against mentioning Kazaa or any form of P2P software. just mention the phrase " free distrubution over the internet" and the smart ones will know what you are asking.

yeah, agree, also add some words about  using fs2 artwork. BTW it is a mail that has to be sent by the future project leader or the hlp guys

[KARMA]

I haven't followed all the discussions, I just presumed that after deciding the plot, you will select a project leader who will organize all the efforts, since it's usually the best way to make teamworks with such a large project;)

[color=66ff00]Actually, provided the community is OK with it I'd very much like to keep doing what I'm doing now. It is a community project though so if yourself or others can pick a person who is better suited to doing this than me then good luck to them.

Well I'm ok with the way it is right now, at least.

[KARMA]

ahhhh i see....look maeg, it wasn't against you, really, i just haven't realized you already had the leadership, sorry:)

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00] you haven't offended me Karma, the upgrade project is bigger than one or two members and I'm all for putting the best people into the best position to do the job.

I am actually enjoying this as a challenge and I hope that I can contribute something to the project as a whole.
