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..
Miner 2049'er and Bounty Bob Emulator

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.

Cheers!

wow, neat. I used to love miner 2049er.

you know, its awfully easy to make profitable ships with this thing - ones that do not even require mining. the maintenance reduction is so high for some of the hulls, a little race bonus should put you over the top.

Fyron · #5 February 17th, 2004, 06:23 AM

I think that the racial bonus and the vehicle ability stack multiplicitively, not stack linearly. So, you can not get lower than 0% maintenance unless the ship has a reduction of greater than 100, or you alter the settings so that you can take more than 100 points in maintenance reduction.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but the mod should be in it's own folder. The default empire files wouldn't work with this mod anyway. there are new race traits and cultures.

Are you using the ModLauncher to run the game? It should set up the paths for you. If not, get it off the se4:Gold CD. It's worth it. (you can have several mods installed at the same time.)

Cheers!

David, i had the same problem the other day when I finally started to play this mod. I went to the existing races button, and nothing came up. My mod is in it's own folder, but for some reason the computer can't find your races folder. I had to create my own race. What can be done to fix this?

Let the game generate races randomly.
Then save their .EMP files.

That's all.

I have almost never added AIs by their EMP files, myself. Unknown aliens for an unknown universe.
