Question about ship usage permissions...

I vaguely remember there being a discussion about this some time ago but I couldn't find it using a search. So, I'll ask it again. Am I allowed to alter a ship from the original game and use it in my plugin? By alter I mean change things like the contrast, engine effects and so on.

I'm pretty sure that the answer is "yes".
But you might want to get someone else's opinion first.

**Sure, as long as you don't take credit for someone elses work or try to charge any kind of commercial fee for it.

Keep in mind of course, with plug-ins, its different- developers tend to be more touchy about their ships being used. The game ships are all free for use though.
