Bug: Sector rescue calculated wrong
Prior discussion: http://planets.nu/#/activity/1464248
I just finished replacment game Soccerball (http://play.planets.nu/#/sector/93476) where I improved the position of my race. As a result my sector rescue value dropped from 107,5 to 105 instead of climbing to 110.
I noticed some other people complaining recently about their tenacity change after they have finished a game successfully.
Calculting my sector rescue value just from my game history also results in 110%. Formula used:
replacementtenacity = 1 + (improvedreplacement / finishedgamecount) * 0.25 * (finishedgamecount / 10);
My numbers:
* finishedgamecount = 10
* improvedreplacement = 4 (3 games rank improved, 1 game rank maintained)
* replacementtenacity = 1 + 4 / 10 * 0.25 * 10 / 10 = 1,1
1,1 means 110%. That's what I expected. But it is 105%.

Meanwhile yy sector rescue value dropped down to 100% despite recently finishing several replacement games at an improved position. Prior to this comment I discussed it in the forum and I had a look at the history of player’s with better sector rescue value but I don’t find an explanation. It is quite frustrating to finish a replacement game at improved position and receive a tenacity malus therefore.

I have had this happen as well.

I think improvedreplacement only looks at your last 10 games (sorted by when they were created not by ending date) and only certain game types.
I made a recovery with bird in this team game and my numbers didn't change, thus I think TEAM GAMES ARE NOT INCLUDED. Perhaps also campaign games?
My guess is that if you only recover classic games then it works.

Now I finished another replacement game at an improved position and again my sector rescue value dropped by 2.5. Seems the sectors don't appreciate being rescued. This gets frustrating. Please fix it or explain where I (and all others) fail in understanding the rules. Maybe sector resuce value is based on running games and not finished ones? Then the tenacity guide on the planets-mag has to be corrected.

I just finished http://play.planets.nu/#/sector/76174
played from turn 63 - 83 and got an improvement from 0 planets to 7 planets, imrpoving from rank 9 to now rank 6.
My former tenacity score was 114,00 and still is 114,00, so there's no impact from the replacement game.
I expected (perhaps wrong) and improvement of +10 as it should replace a former resigned game and perhaps a plus for the improvement of the ranking.
