KSP inspiration for german insurance TV-spot?

[Mr. Scruffy]

First off: I am not gonna name the company or link to the commercial in question.

I guess that´s not really needed anyways, cause probably any german KSP-player who also happens to watch TV from time to time, will have noticed the Star-Trekie ship taking off from Laythe orbit (with Jool on the right and Kerbol in the upper left corner) in that particular TV-spot.

Lawsuit? ;P

[GoodGuy]

WOAH woahwoahwoahwoah volvo!? looks like this game is going to get even more publicity.

[Slur]

...or. It's just a generic scene made for whatever.

As far as I can tell from that picture, the only familiar thing is Jool. However, that could just be a similar-looking green gas giant. The blue thing doesn't look like Laythe and Kerbol isn't a blue star.

I'm not entirely sure there's any point in starting a lawsuit over png files anyway

[Mr. Scruffy]

Yeah, i know, the similarities are only striking on first view and dont survive the second look. But anyways... hope you´ll all think of KSP now, when watching ze add, instead of :´OMG, how am i gonna make sure things stay this nice - who am i gonna make pay for any possible f-up that might happen?´. Though, the add does have something jeb-bish about it. I am still not convinced the person who contrived it, was not inspired by KSP (but Star Trek alone).

Looks a bit generic to me. One colored sphere hanging in space is much like another, and you could stamp this with the same "IT'S SPACE" mark as a million other uninspired spots. If you could clearly distinguish an LV-909 in the image, or if it featured a squat trapezoid-head enthusiastically trying to sell me something, it might be more of an interesting find, but I don't think we have a case, here.

Okay, totally off-topic, and the OP was probably joking so I won't be targeting him, but why do people (besides OP) think that just because a company creates something that is a derivative work (i.e. it's a different product but has a similar look to it) of another company's thing that the second company has a right to a lawsuit? People claiming Nintendo should sue Sony for the PS Move, Microsoft should sue Nintendo for the Wii U Pro Controller, Apple should sue Samsung because Samsung's phones' designs emulate the iPhone (which did happen and it pisses me off for multiple reasons), that Notch should sue the various mobile game devs that make shameless Minecraft clones, and other such stupid stuff like that. There's more to doing business than lawsuits.

...But yeah that green gas giant looks like an homage to Jool, although it's unlikely that is the case.

Statists gonna state.
