#Curiously never listed in the [[Known Bugs]](and thus logically allowed usually), is the small bug where damaged ships travel via gate and WP1 merge into a stationary fleet containing an SFX or FX receive repairs when they shouldn't. The same thing happens to a lesser extent when gating and merging into ''any'' fleet - ships are erroneously repaired by the starbase. The most obvious reasons for its lack of enforcement as a cheat is that merges after gate travel happen so often that accidents would be inevitable. Also, damage from overgating counts here.

The standard cheats disclaimer:

Only chaff and split fleet dodge are allowed. All other cheats are banned. See Known Bugs (or at HWF) for details.

A couple of interesting points:

  1. Banning the ISB trumps IT gate scanning bug would require banning the ISB LRT, which at the time of writing has never happened because of the bug.
  2. The repair after gating loophole has been known for some time but only recently listed in the Known Bugs. The most obvious reason for its lack of enforcement as a cheat is that merges after gate travel happen so often that accidents would be inevitable. Also, damage from overgating counts here.
