in the tech files for the races, change the number that is 0.0975(or something similar) to 0.00000

 

i'm at work, and can't remember the specific stuff, but it's something like that

In the research file, you will see something along the lines of the following:

researchFloatModifiers 3
researchModifier
    modifierType "ShipMaxSlots"
    baseValue 0.000000
    perLevelValue 150.000000
researchModifier
    modifierType "IncomePercLost"
    baseValue 0.000000
    perLevelValue 0.093750
researchModifier
    modifierType "ShipMaxSlotLevel"
    baseValue 0.000000
    perLevelValue 1.000000

Change the value of "IncomePercLost" to 0.0000 and there will be no upkeep cost.

first convert a copy of the entity files to text mode THEN edit the files, and the create a mod folder in the mods v1.193, and then create a folder in the mod folder called gameinfo and COPY ALL of the entity files into the mod's gameinfo folder,

NOW start your sins, then load the mod and apply it, then play the mod.

if you need a copy of the texted entity files then look in this thread(https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/378266) and get the entities for the version of sins you are using
