some of this you can see in the mission.ini and in the item ini's.

For example, a pirate has "SCOR lifeforms 128" and a scientist has 512. A Piranha Bee has "COST 130 lifeforms"

I take these to be multipliers, so to get the cash value of a PB, a Pirate would multiply 1.3 by 1.28 and round. A scientist would multiply 1.3 by 5.12 and round.

of course, i could be totally wrong. im just guessing. I too have many questions about points values. Most specificially, do you get points for selling objects back to Glory, or just having them in your hold? Are there different points for conquering vs making peace? do you get diplomacy points for selling your ambassadors back to Glory, or is the score based on whats in your hold?

I'd also like to point out that, without modding, you cant BOTH have a treaty AND destroy all of someones fleets:

There will always be a fleet orbiting their homeworld, and if you mirror it away then the homeworld counts as conquered. Even if you have a native pilot in your fleet, and the cloak of Bab. If you show up at someones homeworld when there are no fleets in orbit, you get the conquer message - and no ambassador.
