It is simple, the alliance ranking was not updated in real time, got stuck somehow, so what u see in the hall of fame is the alliance ranking around 10 minutes before the end, and the updated, up to last second, player ranking; in the last minutes I decided to increase the size of my real ships instead of powerships, that's why lamma and the others seemed to be close to my power in the end
Just in case u were wondering how much I had towards the end:

yes, but there has to be a limit on turns/ black hole; I think around 700-800 turns should be maximum

SP stands for shield piercing and AP for armour piercing.These features are not available yet.

Yes, Dragonlings, whom I've known as Eragon, is a good player and a person willing to help others. I'm sure he will get into top ten again, as I have recently received news from him saying that he will probably play again next round.

I lost a ship in a 3% mission, and it was facing some very cheap swarmers... the more I climb the lower I can do; guess 1% is all that's left once u get a few bills ship power... this is not just extreme, but totally wrong!

Not a bad idea, but since top players get beaten in simple 5-6% missions now, it will not solve much

This game is no longer interesting, with 15 turns/mission;I hope we can find a solution once the council will become available

it is bad enough people can't really beat missions with 100% plus difficulty, now this.... 15 turns/mission makes the game 3 times slower and extremely boring boring boring  what a waste

To lose thousands of reputation points just because u lost some ships in a mision is simply ludicrous

U can make good profit from the market, u just have to insist that's all

I agree with Nicholas, u should be careful and thoroughly analyse each commander's traits when assigning the badges.

Argus should be on the list, he learned very fast how to get on top and how to stay there for a  long time; he would have surely made it to top ten from his first round if he didn't have to leave for a while.
