I've noticed some discrepancies from the written scoring rules too. I could only do the math with what they provided. I'll run sone tests tommorow and see how it compares. I'd recommend others do the same.

Here's what we'd need to confirm:

HF contacts earn 300 points per minute.
MF contacts earn 200 points per minute.
And the fuel penalty fit the curves as they describe.

For fuel, just run at high TC for an hour at each speed setting and compare your results to my theoretical chart. Even without clarification, we should be able to reverse engineer the scoring engine.

But unless the contact bonuses start dropping to around 50 pts Per minute, the conclusion still applies. Sustaining contact is still vastly more desirable than EM stealth or fuel efficiency.

And what's more important than maintaining contact is not getting too close to another ship. That's listed as -1000 pts PLUS another -1000 pts every 5 minutes.
