Re: SE4 Rating System
Coming 3rd or 4th in a 4 player game is really not that different. It would really make it quite annoying if players refuse to surrender when they are down beyond repair just to salvage some points. With your system the difference between 3rd and 4th position is a whopping 23 points. Well worth to hang in there even if you only own a few rioting planets and some minefields.
A better (IMHO) system would give something like +25 / 0 / -10 / -15.
After all; only the winner is a winner, even second place is a looser.
