if you have two different ships in one fleet, the first one in your design pool will take 4/5 of the damage, and the second one will take 1/5

That's the reason why I redesign the initial scout into chaff. Always first... Twisted Evil

So how is this regarded by the community?

Is that generally considered an acceptable technique or not? I'd hate to use it if I'm likely to be called a cheat but if it's OK & others do it then .....

I can't recall it's acceptability coming up in discussions, ever. Certainly its not listed as an exploit, tho it probably should be. Generally sweepers work alone when they're not being refueled or part of a much larger fleet anyway. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone pairing a lone sweeper with chaff to reduce damage(I usually use packs of 5 for that purpose)..is that cheating? Not until someone bans it. Hardly sporting tho.

Even if it gets added to the bugs list it doesn't necessarily count as the standard cheats disclaimer still only allows chaff and split-fleet, yet there's at least 2 others (besides this) that are never enforced.
