Powergaming? Where?

The issue is that K'Hara seems to have taken a tactic of uncloaking behind an enemy ship and spamming it with cap weapons for an instakill without a chance to resist. It's not related to roleplay much, it's more of a matter of K'Hara frequently making someone get a GAME OVER screen out of the blue without anything preceding it.

1.7 Metagaming* and/or powergaming** to gain a roleplay benefit for factions, groups or individuals

**Powergaming: When one character forces actions against another player without giving them the chance to respond, affecting and/or interfering with the other characters roleplay.

The underlined thing is powergaming, because players are not given enough time to react. If there are official K'hara members behaving like that, they should be kicked out of the faction. Violation is violation, no matter if you have "special rights ID".

3.1 An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. Saying "Engaging" is not sufficient and aggressors are not allowed to destroy a ship before allowing sufficient time to respond. If a player is attacked he has the right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking. Trading nanobots, shieldbatteries or other ammo and equipment during a fight is also considered taking an active role in the engagement.

The bolded-italic part says what you are referring to is a violation of 3.1 and not 1.7, therefor is not powergaming, but an entirely different violation. You are yet to explain why it is also powergaming...
