Rule check: what about non-colony ships with colony components? A player
could trade a non-colony LC for a colony LC..

Indeed, players could do that.
If the purpose of such a trade was to give some colony ships to a player, that would be bending the rules so much that it would become cheating.

PvK
Hard to tell, but if he's the game master he can check the status of any ship in the game at any time. No need for a player's password, you just change the password, run the turn offline and check using the new one. The checking turn doesn't get uploaded, so it has no effect on the actual game.

That's too cumbersome to do for every trade, but occasional spot checks should keep people honest.

Sorry guys, but most of the time, when someone is cheating, it is just other players who come up pointing to someone's weird behavior.

But you can also take another stance : somewhere, we have to trust the players, cheaters are an exception here. Not the rule.

So keep your eyes open as usual. Nothing more. I would prefer to have paranoia in the game, not ON the game.
