Now that the title grabbed your attention lol...
Apparently there is a bug that has been around for months but is not widely known. Let it be known now.
People are saying that sending Reapers and/or Pathfinders on a harvest mission SUBTRACTS the points or ship points from your Highscore. Other players can apparently refresh the Highscore continuously until you fleetsave, at which point your score changes. When the debris field is reached, the score returns (at least this is what I've been told).
Unfortunately this bug seems to have been used on the recent NN1 ACS crash in universe 1. The defender could not have been crashed otherwise.
This thread is to bring awareness to any that were unaware, and to ignite discussion as to why the bug exists.
