If you destroy a corporate station via crate bomb, the cruiser doesn't come after you. It just goes and salvages. While the destruction or damage of station items means this isn't as big of a deal, it's still an exploit. (A fun one, too!)

Didn't something similar happen with asteroid ejecta?

Still does, with stations using WMD type weapons and are positioned very close to asteroids. Just park your ship on the opposite side of the asteroid and watch the station kill itself.

...just make sure you're far enough away that the explosion won't hit you.

Heh. :P

Anyway, does it really matter that the corporate cruiser sucks? I could be killing corporate stations with just about anything using this method. Not to mention the fact that it's inconsistent. Enemy station guards will chase you when you blow up their station using a crate bomb.
