Unfortunately, Ubi did not have a historian in their legal team. NG does not have a right to prevent a WWII from being modeled. ALL US Navy vessels designed prior to 1966 were designed by the US Navy Bureau of Ships, a government institution. All the shipyard did was contract to build per US government designs. The naming of such vessels was by the Navy.
NG has absolutely '0' in the way of intellectual property in the vessel. Someone should have called the bluff. |
Even calling their bluff would have cost many thousands of dollars in legal fees, which a small development studio like Maddox Games simply cannot afford, and a publisher like UBI or 1C will not tolerate on a small sales title like a flight sim.
|
Point of the matter is that NG has no rights to a bureau of ships design and they should have been reminded of that. The fact that the NG lawyer played that card was either ignorance or over reaching.

Admittedly, I am still grumbling as I would like to have had the Yorktown and more importantly the Essex carriers in the game.
FWIW, here is a link to a site with some images of the original Bureau of Ships drawings: http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum...4759&start=120 |

I guess it was just a cheap way of making the AI more 'challenging' but an unfair challenge is just frustrating and kills much of the fun. I sincerely hope Daidalos Team will address at least some of these faults. |
