There are always 'exploits'. Just mistakes of the Devs or things they forgot. It's still a part of the game. Often I've used these not even realising it was a mistake until someone said or I saw it was fixed in a patch. But let me tell you what I do if I find something that feels like a cheat- I stop using it. In the case of the first poster, I have no idea what the 'cheat' was he's talking about, cos I never looked at it.oddible wrote: ↑Fri, 20.

Use it if you want, it is still cheese.Socratatus wrote: ↑Fri, 20. May 22, 20:57If you mod a game to make things easier or edit the files to make you super good or unkillable, that's a cheat.
If you find a way (without any editing or modding), just playing the default game, to get behind the engines of a super destroyer bristling with all kinds of guns but it forgot to put anything in the rear to blow you away with if you were smart enough to get there, and has no escort, so you beat it with a little pissant fighter (just by being very, very patient), then it isn't a cheat. You just got smart- happened even in real warfare sometimes.
It's teleporting I see as a major cheat or exploit, even though it's a major part of the game, but no one cares except me. It's more illogical than even how the old Star trek series works. I refuse to use teleport.
