Dall'help della home page del gioco:
"It's is very simple: For each 1000 resource-units you get one point. It's never mind what you build or resarch, it's always the same. The other way round, you will loose one point for each 1000 resource-units you loose ( destroyed ships for example, or giving up a colony ).
That means: If you want to become the 1st player, you just must build more and faster than your concurrents...
Beside the normal ranking there are two other rankings for fleet and research points. They work a little bit different. For each researched technology level and / or for each built ship you gain one point there. The costs of the research / ship are never mind.
As last, there are the ally stats. They work very simple: The points of all member of the alliance are summarized together and divided through 1000, then you have the ally point number.
Depending on the universe, the rankings are calculated at different times. In the newer ones they are calculated every hour, in the older ones two times a day. The time needed for the actualization depends on the current usage of the server, and during the calculation every player is in noob protection and have 0 points, but don't worry, normally the calculation is very fast ;-)
