Perhaps you should make an award for taking out an enemy ship in 3 turns or less.

Oh ... I've taken out ships in 3 moves ... but remember, the game starts at turn one. Long range. It goes: turn 1 = start at long range turn 2 = move to medium range turn 3 = move to close range turn 4 = fire. Enemy ship's engines all gone bye bye. Enemy defeat. So to do it in 3 turns, you'd need to shoot earlier I just did it with an enemy bounty. Turn 1 = start at long range Turn 2 = shoot. Enemy hull down to 50% Turn 3 = shoot. Enemy hull down to zero. All enemies hold their breaths for a little bit before succumbing to the void of deep space  Ha ... just did it in 2 turns ... Turn 1 = start at long range Turn 2 = shoot. Ship hull dropped to zero. All enemies turned into ice cubes |

I think that my experience in trying this test was that I had to forgo accuracy in order to get the fast win. No enemy hull survived during the 6 tests I did. Contrast that with the 80%+ capture rate that I normally have. maybe instead of the 3 or 4 turn kill, have an award for 10 boarding actions or 10 wins without damaging anything but engines.

If game tracks such things, ×#wins at long range, ×#wins medium, ×#wins short, ×#wins boarding action, ×#wins guns, ×#wins torps |

We're beginning to add feature enhancements to a 5 1/2 year old game ... these metrics aren't currently captured, but could be useful to a person who loves fine detail in ST2  |

Well for ST2 then we'll want ×#wins for small craft since we reached that stretch goal  |
