Destroy buyout not rewarding correct amount of claims

from Stardock Forums

Currently when you buy someone who already owned someone else, you only get 1 persons worth of claims for it. This leads to a situation where the leader both has a higher stock price and you don't get more for the purchase to make up for it, basically meaning that in games without debt spiraling as soon as someone gets a buy the game is over, because the remaning players have to go for eachother rather than the stronger player. I suspect this will have some impact in the upcoming tournament and will lead to snowballs being even bigger than they are without it as a result :/

I've sent this off to the developers, thank you for the report.

oh, and another thing, desroy buyout still doesn't work with the stock price formula's properly, even in 4 mans. We talked about not getting enough stock price from a buyout before but it still is not enough. In the late game a person with 2 bases, 4 offworlds, no debt and 400K cash has stock price of $55. A single player on 2 offworlds, no debt, 3 stocks in the player on 2 bases and 700K cash has a stock price of $51. Now, that sounds difficult to understand without a screenshot, but yep I forgot to screenshot it :P
