If we are talking about attacking planets with lower capabilities than yourself, do we include amps and distorters?

By those standards, only people who never land can be called brave. When you attack someone who's smaller than you, you're a coward. If you fake someone who's dumber than you, you're a coward. If you team up with 4 others to gang up on a bigger target, you're a coward. If you attack a galaxy that is already out of ships to defend against you, you're a coward. If you're intentionally staying small to attack people you would otherwise not be able to hit, you're a coward.
It gets on my nerves when people make up rules for themselves, because they inevitably turn around and decry those who didn't get the memo. It's one of the more serious faults in human nature. I think X, so X must be true/right/just, so if you don't think X, you must be a terrible person. In PA, it also happens every time you do something no one has done before. Dead give-aways of excessive moralizing are when people start using phrases like "you're supposed to" or "you shouldn't".
Because here's the thing: we already
have a set of rules, which explain which things are illegal, as well as a number of mechanics that make certain actions not just illegal, but
impossible. Those are the only things that restrict our actions. Beyond that, if you want to
win, all's fair in love and war. PA has plenty of both.

I guess most of what I wrote above isn't actually a reply to you, then.
Oh well.

That's a pretty subtle burn. I approve.
