Exploiting the "cheap starbases" bug consists of building 99% of an empty starbase and then editing the design to put expensive components on it, and the starbase is still 99% complete, so you only pay 1% component cost. This used to be doable with ships as well, but when it was fixed starbases were overlooked. And yes, I consider it cheating.

All of the listed behaviors are cheating with the exception of chaff, which is (imho) a utilization of the intended operation of the battle engine - the targeting formula works the way it does for a reason.

The significant difference between a "cheat" and a "feature" is whether the behavior it exploits is one that is intended by design or simply an oversight or error in programming.
