Running troop transports past defence stations trick is way too powerful

[Timotheus]

It is too easy to pull off.

To add insult to injury, in the following video from Das the victim did not even declare war on the player even though he has successfully taken over 2 of their planets!

Das' Surprise Landings

Nah, surprise attacks is part of life But you lose reputation doing this and when you reputation drop too much, whole galaxy daclare war to you.

I feel, even with my very limited, experience after watching the movie Gravity that man should no longer go into space as it is too dangerous.

Very true. My AAR shows how early this can be done to homeworlds even on Extreme. Thankfully in recent patches (particularly on harder settings) they have boosted homeworld strength but the reputation hit from a surprise attack still needs to be further increased.

Darkspire, you have the same type of humour like myself. That is, when you tell a joke, only you laugh. Just like me - we are best buds now [:'(]

Icemania - watching that Das lets play was a bit of a WTF moment. I mean, he stole two extremely valuable planets from the bugs, and there was ZERO reaction.

Ice man - link to your AAR please?

It is a very well known tactic to get the enemy to divert there attention elsewhere while another force does something more or less uninterrupted. It is not cheating it is sound tactics, as a small person did you never call your mum into the front room while your brother went into the kitchen and 'borrowed' a couple of the cakes that have just come out of the oven?

Well, it might be a bit old, they certainly declare war when I sneak in, but by then it's too late. The extra troops on homeworlds in the latest patch has greatly delayed my invasion plans ... which is a step in the right direction.
