Summary0000170: Merc Docks make score go crazy?
Descriptionhttp://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,6935.0.html

This has been going on for a little while (I think at least back to 3.188). My co-op partner in my current game has a score more than twice mine and much higher than the AI's, and it appears to be because said score goes completely nuts whenever he turns on a mercenary dock. My turning on a merc dock does not reproduce the effect, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Obviously it's a very minor thing, but there it is.

If he's building a ton of merc ships, that would indeed have a big impact on score. Most likely we need to adjust the scoring for the merc ships.

* The main score now shown in the scores panel of the stats window is the adjusted score (which is what is mainly used on scoreboards). The raw score is now also still shown -- this was the old score that is shown in-game -- but it is given a lower priority.

* The score benefit from using mercenary ships has now been slashed 10x.
** Thanks to Vinraith for suggesting.
