Interested in a Homeworld Mod?

Fair enough, paranoia has its place. Does anyone want to try their hand at writing up a letter and contacting Relic and/or their parent company for permission? Of course, since Relic was bought by a competitor to Sierra, there is probably a snowball in hell chance that it will work. Did I forget to mention that there are some... complications in getting official permission?

Just for fun, I posted a general request for contacts message in the official Sierra HW forum. We'll see what that reveals over the next few days.

To continue... I got pointed to a VUGames forum admin and I'm now coresponding with him on the subject as I work my way up the food chain. Of course, at some point they might tell us to stop all activity and abandon the project, but that's the dice you roll when you ask for permission. As I'm going along, I am also making some distinctions between SE IV and SE V since they may allow one and not the other.

More info when I have it...

It did get off the ground. I've already started on the basic data files and Rudy said he was taking screenshots for the graphic files.

I think we can create a HW Mod without it actually being HW..... Perhaps in the First Time, before, during and immediately after the Great Hiigaran War after which the Hiigarans were exiled to Kharak? It'd be sufficiently different from the games to be legal, yet it'd be HW without a doubt.....

Still involves copyrighted material. I think the best you could do would be one based on HW, much like Space Empires is based in part on Starfire? Some boardgame.
