Well, I don't think the question was stupid, also it was not meant insulting, only a simple request. I feel a deep respect for all modders who create new ships or anything else for SHIII, as I know it's hard work with suffering a lot of setbacks with CTDs etc..
So, I've you made these new units by your own, respect, sorry and go on
.
If not, well, I'm not the lawyer of X1Software (they even kidded me with the Mediterrean Add-On and shame on me that I bought it
). But, taking vessels from an existing mod 1:1 or parts of it and presenting it as his own work without an advice on its origin seems to be not fair for me. No more and no less. That's just a general statement.
