Wildcard
Just for fun I produced a character type that has features of all 11 standard characters. I realized that this could make him too powerful so to limit large alliances from eliminating him - it's an anonymous game. I also found interesting ways to depower him - gave him less fleets, ships, industry and he can only fly 2 hops/turn. Think of this character as the progenitor race that produced all the races - or perhaps the future for the varied races in the galaxy. I have made his abilities a little less powerful than the ones shared by the original character and his scoring is much less but he has so many ways to score. Here is a summary.
1) Commandeer 3.5:1. Gets 1pt/fleet - like a raider. No plunders.
2) Firepower 1.2:1 like a Warlord. Much reduced points for destroyed ships (NonTarget (NT)=1, T=2). Fleet capture NT=2, T=4. World capture NT=10, T=20.
3) Scavenging 20% of ships. 2:1 for empty fleets. Points for scavenged ships = 2. Still only 1pt/key.
4) Missionary like - can own converted worlds. Kill points for population =1.
5) Positronix - can own robotic worlds. Not sure but I think he can robot attack. Kill points for robots =1. Can build robots 1 metal = 1 robot = 1 kill maximum (not as good as a true positronix). Costs 35 ships to build PBB.
6) Trader/Arms Dealer - can double load ships with metal. Cannot build ships.
7) Skip Tracer - takes 50% damage in ambush.
8 ) Emperor - builds industry with 4 Ishps or 4 metal. Gets only 1 pt/world owned and 1 pt/industry. Nothing for population or mines.
9) Architect - Yes, you can build, destroy or move connections but if you study the chart anything beyond a 3 hop requires at least 250 ships and doesn't add points.
10) Art Collector - you can transfer art from fleet to fleet. No points for owning art but some for creating a museum.
I don't expect this to be a permanent character but it will be fun to play.
