**Tutorial** Editing Bribes for more or less Credits

Go to your DATA\MISSIONS mbases.ini file and look for bribes.
They look like this
bribe = gd_bh_grp, 10000, 16101

Ok now the middle number the 10000 is the amount for 10 points of rep. A bribe will only bring your rep up to 60 or 6ten units into the green. So if you are at total neutral or 0 it will only take you to 6ten units of green and at 10000credits for 1ten unit the total would be 60000 credits to buy that bribe.

If you are red to the faction you want to bribe say 8ten units then your bribe will move 14ten units so it would cost you 140000 credits to get to green with them.

Now if you have a mod and bribes at a cheap cost mess things up. Then instead of removing the bribes make them very expensive I have my bribes set at 150000 so a total neutral bribe will cost me 6x150000=900000 credits to bribe that faction. It would look like this bribe = gd_bh_grp, 150000, 16101

Or you could set bribes at bribe = gd_bh_grp, 1, 16101 and it would cost a neutral faction 6 credits to bring them to 6 ten units into the green.

Or Or you could set bribes at bribe = gd_bh_grp, 1000000, 16101 and it would cost a neutral faction 6000000 credits to bring them to 6 ten units into the green.

Remember when I say 6ten units I mean 60 rep points but I use the 6 ten units for easier calculation.

I hope this is helpful. I don't like bribes to much but it is apart of the game and in real life. I just made it more realistic in my view.

Hey, yeah, thanks!
This is one of those things that seems very small and even obvious, but I can't tell you how much it's going to help balance the game. Whew, I was thinking that I was going to have to remove all the bribes in my mod ... glad to see that I don't have to do that
Thanks again.

I have some more information on bribes.

If you have looked into the mbases.ini file you will notice some bribes have 16100 and others have 16101. Now I have been testing this and it seems that when an NPC has several bribes to offer the bribe or bribes that have the 16101 seem to show up first and or more often then bribes with 16100. Just thought I would through this in. Maybe try it out and see what you come up with. If it is the same then that must be telling FL to pitch that bribe first.
