I'd be glad to make you some fresh Pirate/Merc tech, but you can use parts of my mod on your own.

Pirates & Nomads is here, but V1.6 is still sitting on my HD
I'll get working on it, and upload tonight.
The latest files are always in the top message of The Thread.
(I re-edit the message, so the thread dosen't pop to the top of the forum . You can see a list of the dates I changed it in the edit things at the bottom.)

v2 will have newtonian propulsion, and I'll have to alter all the AIs to work with that change.

I suggest that you copy the racial traits .txt right from my mod, and change the descriptions for Pirate and Nomad.
Don't change or move the Normal trait, and don't add or remove traits from the file.
Then you can then use the collection of EMPs from P&N players so your AI works hassle-free.
All you do, is require "Pirate tech 1" for pirates only, and require "Normal tech 1" for non-pirate stuff

thanks but i may need make some tech and racial traits as i added a primitive species of sorts (they inhabit planets and have only troops and primitive weapons like bone clubs bow and arrows darts etc etc)) but otherwise i wont realy change much i may add but ill probably leave whats there be ill just change the tech reqs around
what i have in mind is keep the old techs and make two new ones

Primitive tech i alkready added it always stays the same ((in case a speceis meets a nasty tribe the tribe can fight back well if their bombed then thats a problem i may add soem sort of anti bomb "Spirit Gaurd" if you will))

and Merc tech witch is essentially pirate but a lil diff they destory more rather then capture

thanks alot and the main diff between pirate sand mercs is that mercs never board or capture they always kill and they are pretty obideint I.E if you tell them to attack they will (probably for a fee)and they wont make even the slightist aleigence

ECh sorry bout the typos i was in a rush

sj,
I have a minor request for you mod.
Could you add additional blank racial traits to it so if someone wanted to incorporate additional traits in your mod all the .emp's would not have to be resaved?
They could be named spare1, spare2 etc and have a race identifier assigned.
Just a thought. Great work you have done!

I'll also make some of the traits default to true, some to false, in case you want all the AIs to have a trait such as "Normal"

I will add this into P&N v2, but that might be a while, since I'm quadrupling my computing power this weekend . Once the FPS action cools down, then I will get back to P&N.

It is not too hard to add these yourself, anyways, just make copies of the racial traits from my mod, and follow the instructions in the Pirates thread to create new EMPs.

Thanks.
I realize that this is not hard to add but with the game being so moddable I'm actually suprised MM hasn't already done it.
