Topic: Nova: Morale

I'm not sure I understand how morale works in Nova.  It seems as the though the higher the morale the less ships I can buy, but the more VPs my opponent needs.  Is this right?

Looks like.  I almost feel like it simulates crew experience better - it's hard to field a large fleet with completely veteran crews, but at the same time, they're less likely to break ranks until things have really hit the fan.  Likewise, it's easy to field a large fleet of conscripts, but they're likely to panic or rout relatively early.

FWIW, I'm using "morale" as a combination of experience and motivation...
