Struggling to comprehend the fleet marks rewards system, looking for dev input please

Don't know weather i'll get it, but recently the devs have been comunicating a fair bit so maybe some input will occour :).

Bassiclly i had a starbase defence recently where i got virtually no marks. (6), yet we beat phase 1 with all freighers intact, actually had some (albiet limited) health l;eft on phase 2 for the base. Suffer 2 down, 1 full, one moderatlly damaged on phase 3, and finished 4 with the starbase at full.

That is bassicly the best run i've seen to date, so i can't figure out why i got so few marks.

Severla possobilities occour:

1. i did a few times on phase 1, there could be a penalty for dying

2. the amont of damage you do boosts your fleet mark totals whilst healing the base gives you nothing, (explains why everyone ignores it).

3. A large percentage of the marks are based off phase 3, our below average performance there would thus have badly hurt us.


At this point though i'm a bit lost and would really appreciatte some explanation of the system so i can understand what heps me get marks and what dosen't because right now it feels really un-intuative.

    I did a defence this evening. I belive we met phase1 with no losses. phase 2 we kept them from seriously damaging base, phase 3 we lost 2 facilities, phase 4 we kept them at bay with minor damage.

    for this i gained 19marks. I did die at least once. There was also an action button i clicked to repair some sabotage at one of the facilities. I did also concentrate on the dreadnaughts when i could.

    I think it must be a combination of damage dealt in each phase, together with the success of that phase. It may also be based on your entire squads damage - i didnt ask what anyone else got. I do know that when we ran a fleet defence on tribble, all those who took part in the team got 15marks which is why I think it must be squad related also.

    Yeha it's kind of odd as i re-did it and we lost the starbase on phase 2 but did better on phjase 3 and same on 4 and i mostly healed again and i got 25 marks.

    It's all so inconcistant it's hard to get a handle on.
