That is a rather gamey tactic, so you want to consider your reputation before doing something like that...
I completely agree here.
If you find your opponent has been doing something like that, you should avoid playing score-victory games against them.
If you know them personally, slip a lump of coal under their tree with three sticker-icons (B/LS/CQ) on it in about a month

I thought Units counted for score. While I never did detailed calculations. I always found my score jumping whenever I got troops and started building then. Almost always it would send me into first place and galactic evil.

Is this a difference between solo and PBW games?

Default Re: score

I am the player se5a is refering too. and I'd like to ask the opposite question (as I really enjoy this game and dont wanna accidently end it) which are the best ways to drop in score? I already scrapped most of my bases. but I dont feel like destroying my own fleet . do mothballed ships count?

if not I could just mothball a really huge fleet, and should ever someone dare to attack me I would just need to unmothball them and I would have won

can you confirm that units dont count? I could start using drones then...

Default Re: score

Units do not count towards the score. The increase in happiness from police troops is indirectly added, in the form of extra resources produced on happy worlds.

Mothballed ships do not count towards the score (except in early Versions of SE4, like 1.00 ).

Default Re: score

himnnn, I supose I could reserch all those realy cheap techs I havent botherd with.

and yea it has been a verry good and interesting game so far, it would be a shame to end it now.
though I expect my score to start going up again fairly soon...

I think the reason my score is not so high is that I have not botherd building resorce extractors unless I realy looked like I was going to need them. - I just built reserch instead. and reserched fairly expencive things (like colonisation should have traded for that duh!) so my tech levels went up rather slowly although I am reserching quite a good bit.

Why can't we just declare Maerlyn a Mega Evil Empire and gang up on him?

Uh, no offense, Maerlyn, I'm only the 5th ranking player. Please don't attack me.
