Good tactics, Cheesy tactics or Cheating: It’s a matter of opinion.
It takes away some of the advantages/disadvantages with the choices of racial techs. It also gives an extra advantage to those players with the highest tolerance for micromanagement, not to the best players.

My personal opinion is that it is cheesy/cheating if it is not specifically stated in the rules that it is allowed, and therefore I will not use that tactic myself. But if somebody else are using it in a game I’m in, I will not run around calling them cheaters either (Though I might just send a stardestroyer to make my point ).

Stardestroyers tend to make points quite well.

I would like to point out that it does not specifically state in the rules that you are allowed to create a stardestroyer either.

This is why it is imperative to lay out the ground rules so everyone has fun and there are no hard feelings. There will always be people on both sides of the rules issue. Some will say that anything is permitted unless specifically disallowed. Others will say that nothing is permitted unless specifically allowed. Most will be in the middle. Since the objective is to have fun, lay out the rules on the controversial areas in the game setup and if people don't like the rules, they don't have to join that game.

Slick.

Sorry guys,
I was not my intention to start a discussion of how the game is supposed to be played. Let people play as they want.

I play by my own standards, so there is certain exploits I don't use (always good as an excuse if I loose ) .
