Copyright in general is stupid

it's not, it protects movecraft makers and the movecraft economy instead of letting people like u steal the designs and just mine a couple concrete, make a shipyard and copy any nice design you want

hey, bud, it'd be in your interest to read the full section of the rules for context. "ships" refers to all crafts, not just boats, so while your suggestion would be valid if that were not the case, all crafts are protected by copyright.
Also design copyright is a very good thing and should go to encourage ship sales since by selling your design you are no longer giving away permission to make and use and resell copies of that ship

hey bud, it'd be in your interest to read the FULL section of the rules for context, below the rule it says "This rule only applies to the following type of crafts: Corvette, Destroyer, Cruiser, Dreadnought, Aircraft Carrier, Submarine, Fighter, Bomber, Tank, Heavy Tank, IFV" before you start chatting, but yes copyright is good for the makers of the movecraft, skilled movecraft builders should get fair pay and not have their builds stolen by the common peasantry

Alright, i did miss that section, and would agree that it should extend to caravels, eastindiamen, zeppelins and trucks

though might i add that it is misleading to preface the movecraft rules section with "the term 'ship' applies to all crafts" and then specify that it in fact does not for a specific rule (this is not aimed at you but the rules being worded weirdly)

Im gonna downvote this suggestion like all the other ooga booga hurr durr design cope suggestions. Lets say someone copies a IRL tank design and then copyrights it,so lame + copyright is already lame IRL no need for it in a game

I hope you all can understand that the smaller a craft class is in size, the easier it becomes for two craft in that craft class to have similar features ("accidental copies") among them. Not only are you greatly limiting designs through this, but also imposing a threat of false copying.

For smaller craft maybe an insignia is necessary. This is why blocks like banners are allowed on most craft.

This server is so zeppelist, zeppelins can't move a block without being opressed by them
