Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
Dg... no flames from me.
It is up to the game admin to make sure exploits / or unfair stuff do not happen.
The 8 turn Emergancy Build and trade the planets one is hard to catch. I am hoping that it is corrected in the next patch which i hear may or may not come out before MOO3 
The mothball one was removed... which is good.
The TDM one is up to the game admin.
As there are patches to deal with it or a gentle mans agreement.

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
I find this an interesting thread. I really think there are few outright cheats in this game. And they all involve hacking.
I do know one player that has a list of folks he will play and not play with. I think that is a very good Idea. I also get the impression that as a community we have managed to keep it fairly clean. My hat is off to all of us.
Exploiting the internal mechanics of the game is a much slippery issue. knowingly using an obvious bug that gives an unfair advantage should get you on the blacklist. But trading for tech, forming alliances, and the Sneak attack are all valid 'choices'.
Any one want to start a poll? On what is gamey or not gamey?
For instance
Multiple ship training faclities on several planets to reduce your training time. Gamey? or not gamey?

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
What is this term Gamey? Never heard of it before, it seems to be bad?

Well... the facilities do say "One Per Planet effective", and not "One Per Sector". So, there is no reason why you can't have more than one working in a sector on different planets.  I do not know if this was intentional or not on the part of MM, but that is how it is IMHO. |

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
Issue is not that the game allows it. The issue is if it is gamey or not. Grin and I feel what gamey is just have a hard time explaining it.

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
I will take a stab at it.
How about: you would be not to do this in the real SEIV Universe but in the SEIV game you do it to get an advantage.
