Re: The Non-violent High Score List
 

Well it's hard to be non violent when a creature is planning on destroying the galaxy. Still I didn't find one powerful weapon to use, no PVC no multi, in fact in order to get the ship I had to cloak past the defenses to get to the ship.

Re: The Non-violent High Score List
 

Here's my latest score.
Not a single shot fired, not a single weapon mounted on any of my ships. I used the Aethric Mirror, but nothing else.

"Medium everything" game, science ship.

Score: 25980

If I had had the Crystal Fish and the Cloak, I would have done better I guess. Not to mention the fact that I haven't found a single black hole (I used the Hyperdrive all the way), and that the Muktian embassador wasn't present.

To be continued!

"Medium everything" game, used the Terran Frigate (Military mission. LOL.)

I managed to find the Hyperdrive and the Mantle of Babulon early. Then... Esmeralda stole the Mantle! Darn! But I found it again later, in a trade emporium. Lucky me.

I then got the Timeless Bauble, and wisely asked for the Crystal Fish. I made "friend" with all races present and even got 3 ambassadors onboard (including that small furry guy with gems). There were no Urluqai or Tan Ru in this game, this is a very rare event! The only thing I didn't find was the Anti-Graviton Shunt, otherwise I would have made some extra points visiting the black holes I guess.

So no weapon was used (anyway they were rare in that map), no Mirror, no Vacuum Collapser.

35,434

Large map of course. Science mission.

Mirror is pretty much necessary for the non-violent win.

I could have gotten a few more points if I had gotten the toy robot sooner, and if I had ever gotten the cloak of babulon or the gravitation shunt. Otherwise a near perfect victory.

I even used the mirror to save a Tan-ru fleet from a supernova.

Wow.... That's quite the act of charity. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I got 826 points without killing anything. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: The Non-violent High Score List
 

Got a 38,311 without killing anything, nor sending anything into a black hole, using the Science Vessel.

Re: The Non-violent High Score List
 

does it give you points if ships are destroyed in combat, but you dont kill them? like if you are watching two other races duke it out?

6749 on a small map. (Demo, will try for more with the full version)

Re: The Non-violent High Score List
 

24,138 - almost - Science ship, large map, didn't mean to fire a shot, but some aliens surrounded us by surprise so I think someone fired a shot even though I hit Retreat All immediately. I did send some violent folks into a black hole, too.
