I think that some problems with the all time scores.

As only one round has happened, shouldnt all time score be equal to last score?

I think the right most colums show position last round, and the more middle scores overall position, but they are not equal...

Because lowest players, have position of 77, but all time position of 118...

Also, no players are marked as 'defeated', but some players were definately defeated last round.

And also, positions are not the same as in galaxy scores (or at least players flags are not).

It seems that probalm may be with defeated empires.

Look at galaxy score, and front page score, just going by flags, after 11 it gets out of order, but player at position 11 has 0 planets in galaxy, and then the order is broken...

Also, the galaxy turn ended at turn 2501, not 2500. Or thats what displays on galaxy select screen.

I will start writing a section for the guide about scores/rank soon.

But first a few questions.

For in galaxy score, what counts towards score? I know about:

Research points - Think /10 But is this total used, or total produced? If I am making 1000 a turn, and research a 50 point tech, only 50 are used, and 950 points are lost. But do these still count towards score? Do I get score from the 50 used, or all 1000?

Money - But I think /1000

Planets - How much is each planets class, richness and size worth?

Buildings - I think total production points/1000 (if destroyed are points lost?) Also, does terraforming count as a 'building' when score is calculated?

Ships - I think total production points of existing ships/1000 (if destroyed points are lost?) Do freighters/col ships/drones count? If colonisaing, then is col ships score lost?

Anything else?

This is a side effect. Players that have registered but have no score a considered as equal. In time those with some score will go up.

It was a bug. Now it should be ok.

It means the current turn is 2501 and it stopped.

Actually researched tech costs and current research progress is counted. No extra research points are taken in consideration.

I don't think we should describe exact formula for score calculation. It can be changed over time. Instead we should just mention the components that influence the score.

Following are used in score calculation;
- building prod points
- research points
- ship prod points
- empire treasure
- guardian planets
- empire population

Ok, so only basic details needed. I will also explain scores page.

Do non-guardian planets count? If yes, is it size, richness and class that count?

All planets are counted. All are used, size, richness, class
