Here's an interesting one...especially for SS races
An MD10 fires a 10KT packet at a reasonably developed enemy planet say 200Ly away. First turn it travels 50Ly, second turn it has travelled 150Ly, on the third turn it hits, with very low damage, and nobodys really hurt...big deal, would you dodge 10KT at w10? Confused

Unfortunately there is a large 98% cloaked galleon fleet between the two planets at say 140Ly from the firing planet. On turn one, the packet is visible to all parties, on turn 2, the galleon fleet intercepts the packet at warp4 and unloads his entire mineral cargo into the packet, pick a number say 10,000KT, on turn 3 enemy planet is hit and dead. Shocked

The victim has no idea how a 10KT packet can wipe out his planet, and probably calls "Cheat" Mad

According to Apelord's 3 rules this is definately under Rule 3, and the only law this is breaking is the laws of physics ie. Conservation of momentum.
The problem is it looks like a cheat, particularly if you did this simultaneously at numerous positions as a precursor to an invasion, and without giving away the details, it's difficult to prove it's not cheating.
Fun though
