I believe that overall tallies will show length of service, points gathered on away voyages combined with 1901 additions, favouring the longer term fan with a few miles on the clock.
As I see it, 3,000 generally on sale will mean that most or all who want will get. B'muff might be a bit different but not a lot seems to have changed.
All seems pretty fair and reasonable on the whole.
I think however that current point levels should be clearly displayed next to your NSC Username. I can see the replies now "I'm not taking any notice of you, you have a mere XXX points".
