Hi Bryan, Exactly. I've talked to Paramount about the Star Trek trademark and copyrights for my games and they basicly told me as long as I release it for free, that it is exclusively made for the VI market, they aren't going to complain about it. So far they never bothered me about Final Conflict as I followed their advice to the letter. Instead of releasing STFC as a commercial product, as planned, I released it as freeware. If people want those sorts of games to continue they shouldn't press me for commercial quality Star Trek games. That is games requiring any serious financial investment to create. Obviously since I can't sell any games with the Star Trek name on it any investment has to come out of my own pocket with no way of earning it back through sales. Anyone can see why that wouldn't be a very good business decision on my part.
