Maybe I should put it this way. If you were on the other side of that attack, how would you feel about it? The fed bounty is intentionally evil to eliminate the bullying of smaller players.
That's the reason I'm bringing this up, because it is happening right now in the main game.
Edgar Buroughs got a 132T credit Fed bounty two days ago. He got pounded pretty hard, and ended up with a score around -650,000. After getting his score back to -285,000 or so, he suicided and signed back in yesterday as Lazarus Long.
Now, if this is a valid and accepted tactic, then it's one that I'll remember, because it has all kinds of possibilities. E.g. capture a bunch of planets, strip them of all cash and defenses, bully some players, get yourself killed (or suicide). Your planets go Indy, you log back in as someone new, go find your old planets that went Indy, recapture them, now you're back rockin' and rollin', and only slightly worse for wear, having neatly side-stepped the Fed bounty. Rinse and repeat.
