The reason for the Y2560 end, is that I feel GLR2 should have been over by that time. The only reason it didn't end earlier, was that the top 3 were racing for nubs, and saving our metal for that tech objective. That was why the game was scheduled for ending at 2600. I was curious to see that eventuality.

However, it setup a slight lull in the game, that was a little boring. It also took away from what I feel is the main theme of the game, and that is lower tech slug fests. Basically, a experiment in game settings I don't wish to repeat.

Turns up to ~Y2520 were fast paced and fun, and I would rather keep that pace. If everyone knows that nubs are fundamentally out of reach, then they will build out their metal and fight it out earlier. Since there is no reason to hold back, and BET makes cruisers viable against BB's, then there is even more incentive to go all out.

Saying all that, if there is no 'clear' winner at 2560 (most unlikely) we can always extend the game till a winner is apparent. However, if a race is just sitting back, doing nothing, but is still in contention by just res, expect the guy who has been busy attacking everyone to be declared the victor.
