Furthermore, there are (a maximum of, providing there is no restriction due to previous matches) 4 empty cells in each outpost. 4 empty cells * 2 outposts, that's 128 empty cells. (rule <g12>)

Each of these empty cells can be exchanged for a super cell (2 located in each fueling station, rule <g13>), for a total maximum of 136 orbit balls.
I forgot but don't all the robots start with 7 moon rocks also?

So I think the total is 178.

136+(7*6)=178
