"The Miner's Guild" Mod discussion thread.

I like this mod - I always liked the idea of mining asteroids, and this mod really brings that concept to the fore. One quibble though - it requires that you have to research one (expensive)level of satellites before you get one large enough to put a remote miner on - was this intentional?

(hmm, I wonder what a PBW with this mod would be like...)

Also, those Guild Miners look familiar...

Mines for remote mining? tisc-tisc. (If you research 'Construction' you get a new tech called "Deep Space Mining" this gives you acces to some very low maintenance 'Prospector' class ships,.. and a bit later "Mining Base Ships"

Also, those Guild Miners look familiar...

I'm a very Nostalgic guy. (Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine,.. La La La.)

The Race pic for my Spelunkers is Bounty Bob. From a GREAT old game called Miner 2049'er (and Bounty Bob Strikes Back the sequel) The song "Oh my Darling Clementine" is the music that played when you started the game.

If you would like to experience the Greatness yourself, go here..

I hope this explains everything to your satisfaction.

Cheers!

I noticed these; these are what I generally use (at least until I break out the ShipYard Cruiser and build true Mining Bases - do the small Bases have less upkeep than the "Mining Base Ships"?)

Both the 'Prospector' and 'Mining Base Ship' have -90% Maintenance. So you be the judge.
