Strategy Settings

[Veldez]

A quick question on admin building strategy settings; in career mode I researched the entire tech tree, and set the strategies to 50% science->funds, and 50% science->reputation. I was assuming that all contract science would then be split between funds and reputation, and all "exploration" science would still go to science. The contract science seems to be dividing properly, but what seems to be happening with the other science points is they are just vanishing. None of the science, funds, or reputation meters go up, even though it says I am getting science for transmitting data from a new biome, for example. Is this normal, or am I misunderstanding how the strategies work? I wanted the bulk of the science (from contracts) to go to funds and reputation, while still getting a trickle of science from exploring, in case I wanted to change strategies, or new tech trees come out.

Reputation works a bit differently to the other 'resources' as it's capped at 1,000 (or possibly 100; it's late and my brain has stopped).

As you get closer to that level - whatever it is - the increase from 'points' is reduced so the maximum is never exceeded.

If anything new does come out it's extremely unlikely you'll be able to continue your existing career save, so I wouldn't bother. Apart from that it's more or less guaranteed that none of your ships will work the same way in 1.0 anyway.
