Is this Steve-O? --[[User:SypheDMar|SypheDMar]] 17:12, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

No it isn't. ''Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!''

I don't recall anyone asking me permission to use my Foxhound mesh... And even if i had, i would not have wanted someone else to take credit for it. I used to release meshes for free but stopped because of things like this. - coolhand

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=50440.msg1019147#msg1019147 this appears to be the story behind it. According to this, you ''did'' give someone permission to use it, with the catch that they optimize it for use wherever...and then they proceeded to rebuild the model from scratch based off of the original. At least, that seems to be that side of the story. [[User:Droid803|Droid803]] 21:44, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Ok so look i get a guy emailing me that someone has stolen my work and links me so i come in here and see what is basically my model with no mention of me whatsoever, looks like clear disrespect and theft. After reading your forum posts I'm sure its an oversight and there is no malicious intent on your groups part. but there is no way you can call this a new design, I don't mind you guys using my design for non-profit but i must have a proper credit. What he's done with it, and you called it a new design, i'm not happy with that.

He should have asked me on his own, given proper credit in this wiki, a link to my website and sent me a copy of the scratch built model, then i would be happy... Those are the things i want in return for use of the design and i'm sure i would have mentioned that to chinaman - wherever its used i need a credit otherwise its basically theft/plagarism... its only fair, right? IF thats too much trouble (and it really shouldn't be) then please don't use it.

UEF Lao Tze

Coolhand: /* Developer Notes */

:''For the original ship, see [[FTF MiG]].''

{{shipimage|image=[[File:Ueflaotze.jpg|400px]]|caption=The UEF Lao Tze}}

==Description:==

===Blue Planet: War in Heaven Tech Description===
Ever since its first deployment, the Lao Tze fighter has become synonymous with the White Guard, a paramilitary order akin to the Fedayeen whose elite knights use this craft as their vehicle of choice in missions assigned directly by the Elders. The Lao Tze is a heavy fighter of controversial design, sacrificing pilot safety for extreme manoeuvrability. Very few pilots can pilot this craft in combat conditions without blacking out due to the G-forces at play. The Lao Tze is equipped with the unique Cavalier cannon, capable of penetrating even the toughest of armor, and is usually reserved for the rare occasions where Lao Tze's are tasked to defend their targets against heavy enemy assaults.

===Developer Notes===
Model designed and constructed by Steve "Coolhand" Tyler

===Name Origin===
Lao Tze (also Laozi, Lao Tse, Laocius and other variations) was a philosopher of ancient China and a central figure of Taoism. He is traditionally regarded as the author of the <i>Tao Te Ching</i>, a classical Taoist text. The "Three Treasures of the Tao" (compassion, moderation and humility) have been considered some of his most poignant teachings.

==Veteran Comments==
{{Comment|''Although it does mount a quad bank of [[Rapier]]s and one [[Cavalier]], the Rapiers are easily more punishing than the Cavalier, essentially rendering it useless. The fighter has good maneuverability, it's downfall is that that agility is partially negated by its enormous profile, dwarfing the [[GTF Myrmidon|Myrmidon]] and approaching the size of a [[UEF Uriel|Uriel]]. It has well placed guns, but carries fewer missiles than the [[UEF Uhlan|Uhlan]] and [[UEF Kentauroi|Kentauroi]]. General Battuta confirmed that the Cavalier cannon on this fighter is going to be revamped in WiH2, as well as the fighter itself, potentially.''

''I disagree with the above comment. Although the Lao Tze's armor is rather weak when compared to other UEF fighters, its excellent maneuverability can easily mix with its insanely powerful Cavalier cannon to bring fighters and bombers to their knees. With a good pilot and decent weaponry, a Lao Tze can kill every single fighter and bomber in the game.''}}
