Economic Victory Idea

[KiNg_]

I had an idea where you could win the game by building a trade ship that goes back to Earth.

It requires launching a lasercom sattelite to contact Earth, once you have launched it you can order a worker to contruct a runway that takes up two tiles. Then you can buy (8000-10000 energy) the Warp Freighter, a massive cargo ship that travels to earth and back in a few turns. Every trip brings back a huge amount of energy and once it has brought back a certain amount you win.

Give me your thoughts or your own ideas for new victory conditions.

If the contact victory was based on producing a certain amount of energy instead of just waiting a certain amount of turns after activating the beacon with 1000 energy it would effectively be the economic victory.

The way I understand it is that it represents the science victory

Can't really consider contact to be a "science" victory since it requires much fewer techs than any of the affinity victories (which make you pick up a lot of leaves to get affinity points)

In fact, you don't even have to go into the outer ring if you are lucky enough to find a signal part in an expedition.
