Drawbacks:
- "Not the way the game is supposed to be played"; this is literally hacking around a designed-in play element.
- Forces the use of a third-party utility bypassing the Stars! client to be competitive. Yes, I know there are a bunch of helpful utilities around already, but none of those tell you anything you couldn't work out yourself with the client, some brains and pen and paper or calculator (and indeed, most are done user-side with the information the client itself gives you; I frown somewhat on those that are done file-side). This does; there is no way within the Stars! client to get that information.
To be frank, I consider any and all hacking to be a far worse "cheat" than any form of bug abuse. It is repulsively inimical to anything remotely resembling "the spirit of the game". You're not playing Stars! anymore, you're playing programming. Or script-kiddie-ing, as the case may be.
