My thoughts on previous post in no particular order, and in the question that started this whole thread to be gin with..

1) the only time I systematically checked for passwords was when I hosted a game.
I took each race file as it was sent to me, renamed it with the players name, created a test game with that race file to verify it was not corrupt, and then I attempted to open the file. If it opened I e-mailed the sender and `requested a password protected race. Once the race was good, I added it to the game file directory, and updated the *.def file with the player race, # of players, and then updated my info file for sending to autohost.

I don't expect every host to do this, although it would be nice.

2) IF I did discover another player's race file unpassword protected, I would inform him as quickly as possible, e-mail if available or ingame if not. I would also inform the host unless I suspected him of being less than honest (In which case I probably wouldn't be playing..)

3) If this happened to me, I would hope the person who discovered this informed me, and that he did not disect the information available to him. If he did, I might not be quick to trust him, but would probably not hold it against him too much, after all he did let me know of my error.

Other musings..
I don't consider NAS to be a big disadvantage, even when your opponent knows you have it. By the time your advanced scanners let you get a pen scan on me, it is fairly cheap to keep tabs on you as well.

Tricks to hide race traits and PRT. Some games I am fanatical about creating a deception as to my PRT, PRT some games I am blatent about letting others know what it is. It depends on the game and my mood when I start. I've hidden a 2I HE for 30+ years, and have hidden an SS until I had Elect 13. Other games my only ship designs early on are based on the mini-minelayer hull.
