Does anyone know how the end score you get at the end are calculated ? I mean, do I get a BONUS for winning as early as possible (less turns, like in Civ4 for example) or is the score only based on the strength of the economy, technological advances and destroyed enemy ships ? I hope it is the former or else I would prolong my games and win them later on than know. I have only played two games yet (on sub-normal levels so far) and I win by allying myself with everyone. But I could restrain from allying myself with the last one and instead pursue my research tree or boost my economy before deciding to end the game by allying with the last one (giving him technolgies every turn) or by destroying him.
