i guess i'm gonna wait until i see what you come up with before making my own flasher kit for star trek.
i don't see any problems with copyrights if you make a translite no matter whats on it. like you said, it's not on a big scale.
but then again, i saw peoples who stopped doing small little things because some websites/copyrights owners are very hungry and will jump on anything to make a 50 cents. jealousy sometimes....
