    Out of curiosity, what negative affect would someone else cheating on their progression have on me? Like is it just a sense of injustice?

      There are community challenges in the game that alter the course of the galactic campaigns. Cheaters can swing challenges to victory which then means there can be planets you might never fight on because it requires losing a community challenge.

      The devs have also said they want to tell stories using community challenges, so cheating can also hamper their storytelling.

      Something not mentioned by others, you can’t engage on completed worlds. If a world is lost or won it becomes locked out until it gets attacked again by either side (not automatic or guaranteed). Cheaters could potentially remove all content from the game.
