Well, that doesnt make sense. I was under the impression that Xan in particular, and Cathaar to a lesser extent, were the most brittle races in the universe. Thus, it would make sense that their ships die more often, to a much greater degree, and would thus warrant full salvage than, say, a Terran who should never ever loose their fleet as their ships are just massive lumps of armour. Indeed, if a terran looses their fleet, shouldnt they be punished for absolute stupidity instead?
.
I think that a more valid argument for the use of score, would be that a new player has virtually all their score tied up in value - there is very little XP and thus a massive disparity between a new player (remember, we are trying to help new players, not scanners or XP wh0res [Even though my personal opinion is that XP wh0ring should be encouraged as it detracts from the conventional build-massive-fleet-and-trash-everyone-you-see type "old" pa "strategy"] ), thus, a calculation based on score is more likely to benefit those with the lowest score - ie those who dont know how to attack effectively.
