Ran into this game a month or so ago, new version out recently. Prospector can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/rlprospector/From the game's site:"A roguelike in spaceIn an unexplored sector of space humanity is trying to establish a permanent presence. Megacorporations employ freelance prospectors to find exploitable resources and map unknown planets for them. The player commands one of those scoutships, trying to become filthy rich as a prospector. "All ascii graphics, but quite a bit of depth.Enjoy

Added this game link to my next link page update thanks Songbird.If Prospector has good game mechanics like Privateer: Ascii Sector then it will be something to try.
