Hey all. I have some questions about the victory conditions. Perhaps you other players have a better understanding of the rules. Just what is the deal with the penetration thing? According to the status page, I have pen 7. How do I increase (decrease) this number? Can players vote for other players? If not, why not? How come all the players scores are not listed on the status page? Please enlighten a confused soul  Rgds, -Joel

First off, as it says in the disclaimor, the score may not be appropriately reflected by the status page. There are reasons for that:
1) The "real" seat score is based on a space-station or better hull in orbit,
however, the status score is based on *any* orbital hull in orbit.
2) The "real" penetration score is based on a path from Level 1 to Level 10 with space-station hulls or better in orbit. (highest level - lowest level) therefore max value is 9.
however, the status score is based on *any* orbital hull in orbit, also, it doesn't bother to trace the path, only max-min which is erroneous.
Basically, the status report, examines "potentialities" which are then passed to the other players. You, personally, or the POC can only know reality for yourself.
Increasing from pen 7 to pen 8 would require extension either at the top or lower end by one. Increasing to pen 9 would require taking over the presidential seat.

OK, Thanx DJ. I need to have adjacent starbases in each ring in order to reach pen 8, correct? The adjacency of the senate and house planets have no bearing on penetration score?
|
All house, senate, and the presidential seat are considered adjacent.

Also, if I want to throw my votes to another player, I may do so? Rgds, -Joel

Nah... this is a real democracy... (no coalitions) you can only vote for yourself.

Ok. I've got that part. Lets see, If I add correctly, there are 140 votes available. Since it is not possible to vote for another player, the winner needs to come up with 71 votes on his own. Through conflict rather than cooperation  .
|
The max is 140... sounds about right... however coming up with 71 votes is NOT likely. The max you can get is 9(pen)+16(pres)+48(senate)+28(house) which is 101... you will likely have to cut some pen scores in order to ensure a majority.

It seems interesting to me that this game is being played so cooperatively, Hmmmm... The only other thing is the xact moment the vote is triggered. Is it when PCP is occupied, or when the starbase goes up (valid occupation)? Thanx for your clarification, Deej. Rgds, -Joel
|
When you build a starbase on PCP the vote is triggered.
Chuckle, I was very surprised to see the massive cooperation in this game... but I am sure in the end there is going to be a LOT of hurt feelings
