ok... several things...
first of all it of course always depends on enemy designs.
there is never a perfect design, and i never said this is
the ultimate trick!
and i _did_ say this is a nice trick, but it usually works
only once, didnt i?
and the rocketship with 4 sappers is for example not in range
of shielded chaff for 2 turns... so you need to have fast
sappers somewhere... and many people just dont have that.
and maybe i was misunderstood:
it _is_ possible to let enemy beamers fire at your beamers
first, at least for one round, and your chaff survive the
beamers... this might only be useful for the first shot,
and it might not turn the whole battle, but can _in some cases_
help, for example if you are hopelessly weaker and just want
to get that one shot for his bombers/frighters before being
destroyed...
i would never build only shielded chaff, but when i realize
enemy designs are weak and vulnerable for this, i will always
concider it.
also i play stars for having fun, and prefere trying strange
tricks to beat the mighty enemy and have some fun with it to
create the best monster and crush all weak races with pure
masses... i think it is the greatest fun to beat someone with
much less force than he has by some smart action...
the victory is much sweeter this way...
and i am not mr it!
actuylly i never played it, i think... and if your enemy is
so stupid to let an it keep a planet for 2 round with some
peoples there, well.... you remember mass driver become also
very cheap with cheap starbases?
so how does an it (especially an it) want to keep a planet
in enemy space with only 5K people there???
the trick brings the it-advantage, but also the defender gets
the possibility to counter that... i dont see the problem...
and i play in 2 games (longway and crossroads) where the trick
is allowed, both huge universes with 16 players,
and in one game there is not
a single it, and the other is a very special rules game, where
it becomes even more powerful, and still there are only 2
it players there... (or 3???)...
so it might not be concidered that powerful it seems...
ok... now something different...
we were talking about cheats and i would like to introduce one which has not been mentioned before
i never tried it, but it was something about letting the minerals
vanishing from the surface vanishing while being bombed...
i have the description somewhere in my mails, deep digged in,
but maybe someone knows and can explain better how this could
be used? it was something like loading minerals to enemy ships
(non frighters) and the engine would forget that minerals existed
or so... can someone help out? (barrie, are you here?)
