Right now I only play casual, so some things you guys take for granted I still haven't worked out.

How exactly does scoring work? This is what I've gathered so far:

Large based: One you have inflicted half of the damage on the ship, you get half of its points.

Small Based: Blow it up, get the points.

But how exactly does the point value of a ship actually work when it comes to removable (for lack of a better word) upgrades? If Boba Fett kicks Palpatine off a shuttle, does that mean that the shuttle is now worth 8 fewer points? If I shoot my last Advanced Proton Torpedo, is my ship now worth 6 points less?

Thanks.

No values are established at the start of the game. Unspent points are included as well. If you are running two Phantoms that total 84 points and I kill both of them, I get 100 points. If you have a Scimitar TIE bomber loaded with 10 points of upgrades and I kill that ship I get 26 points even if you spent all the upgrades.

It doesn't matter if cards get discarded, they are still counted towards the value of a destroyed ship.

It's stated in the tournament rules that if a card is "discarded" that you flip it face down. In the event of a Dual card you put it under the pilot card so it is out of sight.

When the ship is destroyed you're supposed to place it and all of its upgrade cards in a "score" pile (which nobody ever does).

At the end of the match, if you destroyed all of your opponents ships you get max points (100 in a standard tournament game) regardless of their actual squad value.

If you damage a large base ship to half of its total health (hull + shields + hull/shield upgrades) you get half of the total points (ship + upgrades) ROUNDED DOWN. This does not include any docked ship(s).

Only exception to all of these rules is the Nastah Pup. It's weird. If you win with only the Pup on the board it counts as 1 point. So you end up with 101 VS 100 kill points. ***Note to self, check Cryodex for this situation.

If the game ends in a tie after score is calculated you go into Final Salvo and the winner of that gets the match points, but the score is still equal.

THEN you have margin of Victory, which isn't exactly the same as your tournament score, but it matters for tie-breakers. Every match you play a, there was a total of 200 margin of victory points available to both players. At the end of the match, if you are a Victor, you add the difference of the ship's you destroyed and your opponent destroyed to 100, and that is your margin of Victory. If you are the loser, you subtract the difference of the ships that you destroyed, from 100, and that is your margin of victory. At the end of this method, the two score should add up to 200. If one player destroyed all of his opponents ships and lost nothing, he earns 200 margin of victory points. If he destroyed all of his opponents ships, but his opponent scored 50 points worth of his ships, then his margin of Victory is 150, and his opponents is 50. Essentially, if you destroy a ship, you take that number of margin of victory points away from your opponent. Then, you total up all of your margin of victory points round to round.

Only a slight modification here. For MOV you add/subtract the difference between your two kill points.

Player A wins and destroys 64 points of ships.

Player B loses and destroys 45 points of ships.

Difference is 19 points

Player A MOV = 119

Player B MOV = 81
