Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
I played against a nearly invisible ship set.
I quickly replaced it with another one. I just had to rename the replacement set.

Yep, exactly. The way things are displayed in the game depends on what you have installed on your machine. Some shipsets have really awful colors and some are hard to tell apart. In these cases I have often changed the color of the race_main.bmp to make it easier for me to view.
The invisible or hard to see ships are easily replaced with generic ones.

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
Hmm, back to topic (somewhat).
Apart for ethics how about some etiquette? Have you had bad experience with that? Well, I have.
In one game after attacking a player and mopping up his planets. I got a series of insults for several months. (while the first one or two might have still be in character, he went truly lost it and went overboard with the Last one(s))
In another game a player gives his ships offensive names which are particularly aimed at me.
I don't really care for that. Needless to say that these players go on a black list and I won't play with them anymore.

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
So far no one has objected to ships named Awfrigit and OFU.

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
How about players reading these forums and telling other players in game that a player is not to be trusted due to his/her Posts in Shrapnel Forums

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
Hehe, I love insulting people. Although is anyone ever objected to it I would stop doing it to them.
I also like doing ship names as a way of sending a message. LIke naming a ship "Insecticide" when plying the Xi'Chung.
