The first full calendar year of Nu Planets has almost ended. Many fine Commanders have entered countless galaxies. Some have done well. Others have not done quite as well, but learned many tactics and strategies to improve their future performance. And many Commanders have realized that their lot in life is not meant for space, sometimes even departing without saying goodbye.
But what Commanders have distinguished themselves? It is hard for any one of us to easily know. The official Nu Leaderboard gives us a nice indication on how well different players are playing each race, but many of the great Commanders play two or more VGAP races. So, until Nu is able to prioritize providing us a second Leaderboard for Total Achievement Score for all Nu Galaxies, I have put together my own little spreadsheet. It only does so much, since the effort for me is quite manually intensive (heavy cut and paste activity). But it allows a view of what players have done well this past year.
The following attachment shows players' Total Achievement Score, and includes below Total Score what Race Achievement Scores were used to make up the total score. While only players that are currently active and with a Top Ten finish in at least one Race were included in the spreadsheet, each player's achievement score for all the Races played were included, as long as their Achievement score was at least 100 for that Race. So, as a somewhat-accurate (not totally accurate) measure, for each player there is also an Indicator # for "Score / # of Turns" -- to highlight those players that were able to score a high number of achievement points for number of turns played.
Please include my usual caveats when checking out this page -- for a variety of reasons, some of the best Nu Planets players might be lower on the spreadsheet or not on the spreadsheet at all. Also, it is just a snapshot in time. For example, hours after I finished the spreadsheet, Joshua won the Dagaba System, boosting his Total Achievement Score from 2372 to 3010, and his Points per Turn from 6.9 to 8.7. But the chart is not updated to show this impressive boost. Nevertheless, I hope it serves as a interesting chart on how well some Commanders have fared so far in Nu VGA Planets.
