you attack them just like anything else, except they are a helluva a lot harder to kill early on.

OTOH, their attack is often *much* higher than their def (I had one show up with 180/10), so it pays to be pro-active.

Another popular strategy is to lure them into enemy territory with a suitably fast ship. That works too :)

All right better question, How do I attack then? It won't let me attackt he space sharks. I am using ships with attack rating.

Oh yeah one more question. Where do you check your ethics rating?

Actually, I gave up fighting them unless I had AM missiles or really nasty ships. I just use scouts to lead them toward anyone I don't like, or a starbase that I'd like removed so that I can claim the resource (I've never done that to an ally, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't work). Works quite well, and can be used against anyone since they don't recognize you as the problem :) Hardest part of it is remembering to move the scout one square every time.
