There are all sorts of tactics that some people consider to be crossing the line; for some it's things like buyouts or blowing dock, apparently for some it's using scripts at all (welcome to 1988 guys!) but this seems to be a recent, disturbing trend. It happened multiple times in the tournament and just happened in another game I was in.
Seriously?

Yea sort of like sitting in Sector 1 in maxed out gold ship on a trigger kill macro, meanwhile a corpie is on a high quality pdrop script with a majority the universe gridded--and doing so immediately after a truce has ended--further noting that earlier that evening that corp had expended thousands of turns gridding over the competing corp, who held the understanding that there was a full day of truce left, so they ignored that tact for the time being?
But wait there is more, isn't this sort of like attacking the other corp immediately after truce has ended, when they did not even have a chance yet to really setup for an active game yet, because several of the corps players were AFK/at work? ...Or what about going offensive, while knowing full well that the other corp understood there to be one-day left to truce, because it was stated to be a 3-day truce, and yet your corp quietly keeps to itself the assertion that truce ended the moment the game showed day 3 (because that is always how they do it at the newbies playpen Ultimate TW), and itself is setup to both be attacked and to attack--all the while the other corp is completely passive, still prepping under the expectation of truce.
And, if this is in reference to the recent Battle Star DM, Corp 1 was actually not "well established" as Corp 2, as Corp 2 at that time held about 3/4 of the total game's assets and now owns about 99% of game's assets (less space mines all over the place.) Even after Corp 2 had decimated Corp 1, who still had 2 players of their own online at the time, Corp 1 still held 1/2 of its total assets. And now only a few days later, it holds an astonishing sum of assets, surpassing, double of what was held prior to the infamous attack on Corp 1. However, in any case when you instituted the tactic of doc-killing all bets were off, so stop crying about anything thereafter being fair or unfair, you practiced a petty, whimpy tactic. Deal with the consequences.
I will state in my opinion that Fed-watching on kill/cap scripts is a cheap, petty, whimpy tactic on par with planet and ship buyouts, or Terra jettisons (and these should be easily remedied by updates to game edit options, e.g., allowing players/corps to only own a number of ships or undeveloped planets at any given time, permit only for colonists to be placed on a planet or Terra or lost upon ship destruction; permit option for FedSpace or Sector-1 to remain as truce zones, or for returning players to reenter the game to a sector of their choosing or as per a new CN "Home Base" setting.)
But, ultimately, you will not hear Corp 2 whining about any of this, the games have been fun and fruitful. The Battle Star edit is awesome (though perhaps turns could be decreased, very time consuming managing that many turns on a daily basis--though seems also to be a fast edit, in consequence). Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galatica. Play on, hard!
P.S. Corp 2 is awesome--this is not only my opinion, but represents the totality of unbiased facts.
