Default Re: Ok...

I don't know if you guys are talking about solo play or PBW here, but I've been in PBW games where 300% or even 400% would have been too low. It's entirely possible for the 1st place player to be that much stronger then the 2nd place player and still get beat if the others gang up and play a good end game. Especially since score is so easy to manipulate by building lots of cheap, low-tech ships. And as bad as it is being in a game that seems to drag on for ever, it's much worse to have what is shaping up to be a really good ending to a game be aborted by an arbitrary limit.
