In that case I won't post a link to the topic, but if you go to board 50.0 here at dominionstrategy (just edit your URL) you'll find a discussion about this.

4.3M after a few tries...

Best score so far is 5,650,694 over 105.8 years.  It looks really stable but then suddenly the starting planet shoots off into space.  Weird.

...

Now I've got 10,329,012 over 188.3 years.  It looked much less stable, but it lasted longer.  That tiny starting planet came so close to the edge so many times.

...

Now I've got 14,999,531 over 479.6 years. 



I just don't understand how the crowdedness bonus works.


Edit: Hahaha, managed to work a Brown dwarf into the mix and it stayed stable to the end for 44,689,741 points.

Yeah I have no idea how you do that.  My basic strategy was to just balance a bunch of Giant planets all in the same ring in the habitable zone.  If I space them out well (and the starting planet is in a decent spot) then it stays very stable.

Hints, in increasing order of helpfulness:
Think about which strategy awards the most points.
Try to make a stable system with a dwarf star.
Don't try to place two dwarf stars. 3-body problems are chaotic and will never(?) be stable.
You also want 12 bodies to increase your multipliers.
To make a system with a dwarf star stable(-ish), try to let it have an almost constant influence on your other planets.
Your other bodies should be earths to minimize their gravitational effects
Put your dwarf star right next to the central star (you can click on top of the star to place it right next to it).
Place your Earths in the habitable zone after you've placed your dwarf star, to make their orbit (initially) circular.
Your initial planet should be somewhere around the habitable zone. To keep its orbit circular, place the dwarf star at point X such that - viewed from the central star - the angle between X and the initial planet is 90 degrees.

Nice tips!  I was doing something similar, but I underestimated the value of different things I guess.

My high score was Brown Dwarf placed at the center and Giant Planets all around.  Didn't realize Dwarf Star + Earths had so much more potential.

Edit: my new high score is now 125,467,004.  Lasted until the end, though orbits slowly became elliptical.

Kind of ashamed that, after playing around for awhile, I got 13.9 million by simply adding one dwarf star, obliterating my previous records.  :o
