I use no scripts at all and all of my planets will have PD's when they are able to...
Protects me from those that DO use scripts to basically just steamroll over anyone.
Maybe if Dave banned Scripts all together I wouldnt need to spend 3 minutes loading yellow dotted lines... but I already know that would be an unpopular option.
Dave could try banning them. I've played enough of the really competitive web games to know that bans never stop the determined ones though, they just write their scripts to try and disguise it.
