Well there are two reasons which are fairly interconnected. The first is
I
wanted to be able to provide a background where the players could choose
to
be "warlords" and controls the production and economic portions of their
particular parts of space. This meant that I need some form of currency
and
it seemed natural to tie this to an existing point system. The other
reason
is that as a software engineer I have this undying urge to computerise
everything and a database system is easier to write and maintain with
one
base currency/point system than it is with many.
