Maxing a Spaceship

[stormerne]

My wife is the Civ1 fanatic: I go for Civ2. She's going for an all time personal high score and wants to know what the maximum achievable spaceship is. How many habitation modules can you build for a Civ1 spaceship? How many components and structurals do you need for 100% success rate? What is the journey time? (None of this is in the manual. It just says the more people the bigger the bonus.)

Thanks in advance.

Spaceship part_____Maximum #
Habitation_________4
Life Support_______4
Solar Panel________4
Fuel______________8
Propulsion_________8
Structural_________39

Now as far as the journey time, you'll have to add it up yourself. I know that it's something like mass/propulsion, and each part has a specific mass. The structurals are 100 tons each, and every other part is 400 tons each.

By the way, what's your wife's best score?

Thanks TTG. I've passed the message on.

Her high score so far is 263%, but I just spotted the post from last October about bugs affecting high scores and I think she's already come across some of those. No harm in trying though...

Well there is another way to beat the glass ceiling... by playing on levels above emperor. I have beaten my previous scores by far, without trying. On one match I scored over 400%. I'm not sure I can count these though. I mean, it is REALLY hard to fight the Emperor+2 AI's, but it just doesn't seem fair getting scores that high after I worked so hard for so long to get 270%. You can check out my cheats page for info on increasing the difficulty level.

Just as a matter of interest and courtesy TTG, she finished the game this weekend. She didn't use any of the cheats, but it did appear that the game wasn't letting get beyond the 'glass ceiling' you talked about.

Her final score was 268%.

Thanks!

No, that sounds about right. My best scores have been right around 270%. If she can break 300% it will probably just be by luck. I have heard of it before and tried it myself. It seems to me she has hit the glass ceiling I talked about.
