If good backstab occurs main objective of Mr. Honourable switches from trying to win to avenging backstab, a single minded focus on hurting you no matter what cost.

...

From perspective of other players, a player who cares only for revenge against your competition can be a useful ally. Another set of slots to hold ships, advantages of another PRT, etc.

The fact that other players would seek to fuel the flames of revenge is why one planning to backstab would (at least try) to make certain that he would not be hitting a bees nest with a big stick, so to speak.

This type of planning is delicate however. If you blatently tell person A that you will backstab person B, person B could just as well tell person A and you will lose the element of surprise and possibly draw the wrath of the bees. If you don't tell person B at all, and person B is allied with person A, and you backstab person A, person B will more than likely attack you back if they are loyal. But, if person B is allied with A and is not very loyal, and you hint of mutiny, they may well join you.

Oh the possibilities...
