For the sake of the argument what would you do knowing that that person is Raven, FINBit, SG7rex, Vander or Veri? What would you do in the last few days differently? Would you attack his well-guarded homeworld? Would you start destroying his outposts, or trading routs? If you are economically weak you stand no chance. If you are powerful the war is not always the best option...
Congratulations, SG7. Well played. The mistake I made in this game was prioritizing maxing out Advanced Materials Collection over aggressively climbing the Science Skils Tree. I have twice your point score right now, but you played the Researcher role the way it was supposed to be and will win because of it.

Learning for future games - if you are Researcher, go for Graviton Physics as fast as you can and start collapsing stars. You'll likely have enough Rare Ore by that point, anyway. Advanced Materials Collection is still important, just don't lose time maxing it out.

Do we think Warlord and Trader are balanced with Researcher for winning conditions?
