    Very peculiar. I scanned the log and didn't saw Hutak destroy any ship. Now he has 929 exp points??? Yesterday I was on the top with my 541 points!

      Completed a citadel?
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Anyone know how much exp points you get from building a citadel? And then, if it is a corporate planet, which member of corp get those points?

            Yup, 100% gives 5 points, but it's extremely difficult to get. In this game I haven't yet managed to get it. And Hutak got at least 500 points during one day. I would know because I check the 'player value list' everyday.

              Possible if he gets the psyche probe. If he runs a short port pair where he can do two trades at each port, he could gain 10 points at each port. If these ports are 4 turns apart, he could get 500 points.

                Does Hutak post on this board? I too have never gotten the 5 exp for getting the price right on. I figure that, if we don't catch on to his tricks, then we're just going to have to gang up on him and take him down a notch or two, eh?

                  Nope. Psychic probe tell the percentage of your price compared to their best price after trading has occurred. Pretty useless device actually.

                    Well, he's evil, and IIRC you get a bunch of points for ripping off ports. Maybe he just did a whole bunch of stealing?

                      Okay, these are the ways to increase one's exp points (at least what I know):
                      • Good haggling at ports, >=98% of their best price = 1 point, >=99% = 2 points
                      • Attacking someone
                      • Entering the game (1 exp point and 1 alignment point per 24h)
                      • Finding an unused port (1 - 2 points)


                      So, I'm more than curious how Hutak managed to get several hundreds of exp points during a single day without ever attacking anyone

                        I am wondering too, I thought I had a chance at number 1 (OK, not a good chance, but at least a chance), then Boom! And here I am fighting it out for the top 3!

                          Another possibility -- I seem to remember that hitting a port's price right on gives 5 exp instead of 2, that is, being 100% of his best price. Maybe???

                              I put it in when I created the game...
