I would say it should be considered a cheat and prohibited in all games, and it isn't that difficult to check for the host or 3rd party checker, you just have to look at the current turn and last turn, and that is needed for checking for any other cheat, too.

I don't disagree.

OTOH if everyone is benefitting from it, and everyone can it seems, then it can be seen as a newly discovered feature of the game that gives it a bit more flexibility and frees up a slot (think of it as taking the time to train your LF crews, for instance, how to colonise before sending it them out!) It certainly appears to make AR's look more viable generally if it works for pintas.

If it is disallowed, it is quite easy to fall foul of it accidentally. When playing HE for instance I usually design colonisers first and then copy it for my fuel tanks. It seems my fuel tanks can now colonise too! As long as they only do so in the company of a coloniser, I don't see a problem ... I've just fallen foul of the bug and lost myself a fuel tank (just as would have happened if I hadn't separated them). I doubt anyone would notice or care - but technically it would be a serious breach of the rules. I think players/hosts are sensible enough to know it isn't really a breach ... but some folks out there, myself included at times, can be very fussy about such details.

Goober.
