Does anyone know the formula SEIV uses to calculate score?

Well, at least the issue with how ships affect score isn't really going to matter for the contest. Without a doubt, resource generation is what you are going to need to win.

I know hardly anything about how the score is calculated except what I've heard from pros like you. Isn't your resource production just added straight into the score?

I recall having a score of 1.0M with resource production of less than 300K. So, it seemed that resources were much less an issue than other components of the score.

What would prevent someone from simultaneously building up a huge armada of bases/ships while also storing a modest amount of resources. Then, on turn 150, they cold unmothball all their bases/ships? Wouldn't it be possible to have a base/ship count well in excess of what you could afford to maintain?

Once again, I know almost nothing about how the score is calculated except that I've heard folks say that empty hulls count lots, and from my experience, fighters don't count at all.

Thanks.
