Hey guys,
Unfortunately I have bad news... CCP has issued a 'Cease and desist'.
To quote CCP Falcon; "...the company needs to protect the EVE IP, and we can't let crossovers into other games occur without licensing."
"...the company is trying to cover its back in terms of copyright infringement, so we need to ask that stuff is taken down and work stops on the mods."
The originator of this mod had 'the nod' from CCP some years ago, however;
"Yeah, unfortunately times change sadly."
So that's all from us, feel free to share your thoughts on Reddit.
Over and out.

My name is Luis and I'm from Chile, south america. A week ago I didn't know that there was a EVE mod for Sins. I played an old version of the mod like 5 days ago and it was very promising. Today I read that the mod was still being developed till December last year but also that CCP cut us off with there licensing crap. I cannot begin to say how sorry I am for us Sins fans, mod developers and everyone involved. I'm a month late and it seems like I'm never gonna be able to try the latest version of the mod now. What does CCP want in exchange for allowing the mod to be revived? If it's money at least I'm willing to help paying a license, maybe not all at once but a little every month till it's done. Can you negotiate something with CCP? I haven't played Eve lately but it's an awesome game but an Eve mod for Sins is superb. Have you tried asking them what do they want in return for allowing the mod to continue?
Your passion sounds awesome dude. But unfortunately it's bureaucracy lawyer-esque politics. CCP wants a public demonstration of protecting their IP for future proofing or possibly selling the IP.
