The prestige calculation has changed, 2 minor changes, 1 field removed from calculation, and 2 new fields have been added.
Prestige for Ships Damaged has been increased from 2.5 to 3.0. Prestige from Ships Captured has been reduced from 20.0 to 15.0. A "Credits" field is for future development concerning trading and personal weath. The "Ships Lost" field is for those ships the player has gotten destroyed. The "Killed" is no longer calculated into the prestige.
This is the latest prestige calculation:
float User::calculatePrestige() const
{
return( (m_ShipsDamaged * 3.0f) +
(m_ShipsCaptured * 15.0f) +
(m_PlanetsDamaged * 1.0f) +
(m_PlanetsCaptured * 5.0f) +
(m_FriendlyFire * -10.0f) +
(m_Repair * 2.5f) +
(m_Construction * 1.0f) +
(m_Kamikaze * 5.0f) +
(m_SelfDestructs * -5.0f) +
(m_Jumps * 0.1f) +
(m_PlanetCollisions * -1.0f) +
(m_Credits * 0.01f ) +
(m_ShipsLost * 0.001f ) +
m_BonusPrestige );
}

hmm ..
think there's still a problem .. missed the last part of the conversation in the lobby about this theme .. but atm there's no prosecution for the ppl who "waste" resources ...
there's no need to fly the ships in a good style .. to bring them back to JG ect ...

@sunshine...
The "Ships Lost" takes care of the problem of players wasting resources. This value is calculated directly from the value of a ship when it's destroyed.
So if you have a dread and die, this value will increase by 10,000 and decrease your prestige by 10.
Noticed a problem with the calculation, forgot the minus - sign on the Ships Lost, this should be better:
float User::calculatePrestige() const
{
return( (m_ShipsDamaged * 3.0f) +
(m_ShipsCaptured * 15.0f) +
(m_PlanetsDamaged * 1.0f) +
(m_PlanetsCaptured * 5.0f) +
(m_FriendlyFire * -10.0f) +
(m_Repair * 2.5f) +
(m_Construction * 1.0f) +
(m_Kamikaze * 5.0f) +
(m_SelfDestructs * -5.0f) +
(m_Jumps * 0.1f) +
(m_PlanetCollisions * -1.0f) +
(m_Credits * 0.01f ) +
(m_ShipsLost * -0.001f ) +
m_BonusPrestige );
}

Not sure if this will solve it, i think ppl will jump out of the battle much earlier to prevent loosing so much prestige

maybe ... a list of the values of each ship would be intersting for many ppl ( me including) ...
but doom is right . most of the ppl will jump our before the are highly in danger of getting destroyed ...
you could change the "ship lost" value to the hull damage you got .. you your hull is 50% damaged the "ship lost" is increased by 50% of the ships value ...

Hmmm... they´ll jump out before they get destroyed, so they don´t suffer prestige loss. When adding hull damage to "ships lost" ppl will jump out even faster, as soon as their shields or armor reaches 25%

Better, save your ship before it is killed.
1.
Its normal tactics in war that when badly hurt or out numbered draw the forces back, to regroup, before you lose to many, 1 ship lost means that the res is lost forever for the team.
2.
You don’t see any navy or army changing their hardware out with new ones every time that and tank or navalship run out of ammo.
This is to spawn that you just don’t crash your ship in alpha strikes like some wants to do.
