I was shocked to see the news article, actually. I didn't see any mention of using copyrighted music works for the game anywhere (I believe the discussion was on copyright issues with Star Trek franchise in general).

There seems to be some pretty decent feedback in the Musicians Wanted thread. I haven't had a chance to do much posting, let alone any testing... but the few times I've heard tunes, I thought they were pretty good... no complaints.

So... I'm still completely miffed that there's a commotion about the music.

The general (core) problem was something different IMO. It was back then 6 months ago, when the last feedback was given, that there was no real playable alpha from both supremacy nor bote (totally unknown to you guys back then) so in my opinion, the thing just slipped away because there was no game and still a long way to go. That way there was not that overwhelming feedback (like it was now with the snipped sounds from kenneth et al for example) and therefore ericjames just looked for other things to spend his time on.

I think we are now all in a better position so let's just forget all this and move on. I'm more than just interested in hearing those new completed soundtracks from him so I hope he's online someday soon (maybe even tonight) so he can mail the mp3s to jig and we can all finally listen to good music
