alright now this is truely a non violent victory. I had 33495 score. I found primordous and got the ship needed to kill him. Problem is that there was no weapons in the entire galaxy that were powerful to use to defend the ship much less do anything else. So in order to kill him I sent the ship on a suicide course right into primordous. The entire game the most deadly weapon I had was the LVC.

Anyone know of a way to get rid of wingmen, short of getting them killed in a fight? I keep trying to go for high non-violent scores, but then I get Ripcord or the Crippled Muktian, and they slow me down bigtime. I'd like to just be able to tell them "get lost!" or maybe drop them off at Hope or something.

Joe -

The Fearless Testers requested that very thing - but we didn't get it. What we do have is 'retreat' on each ship. This will work on everyone except the Urluqai, who encircle you.

In other words, pause the game when you get into combat, select each ship you want to retreat, and click the retreat that shows up on the right, instead of the 'retreat all' on the left.

That's not very non violent

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.

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!

Latest score: 27615

"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.
