**The outcome:** The punishment for HWS fake limit ships is automatically applied. Everything else is legal — topic: sponge ships. We allow this since resources got wasted to create these ships.

> **Limit abuse** : If you place structures with the intent that HWS will capture it to attack enemies, you will be punished.  
> A penalty which involves Credits and RP (per the buyback formula) will apply to you if it was set to private and will apply to all faction members if it was set to faction.
