How will cheaters be dealt with?

This is another reason why I like single player games a lot.. it is one of the few ways you can truly avoid cheaters.

Thank goodness for offline single player mode!

No matter what you do, some people will always find a way to cheat and ruin things online.

I think it'd be fun if discovered cheaters had their escape capsules automatic return to station disabled. Just leave their pods floating about :)

Scoop them up and sell them into slavery - or if you are feeling playful, mush them up and sell them as Pink Slime. That probably commands a lower price than Slave Dung, but you'll manage a profit somehow :)

I don't think anyone can decide now. Cheating and anti cheat are a bit like an arms race. We have to see how it evolves and make a punishment to suit the crime.... Is God mode worse than infinite money? A fuel hack worse than a speedhack? Is flying backwards cheating or an exploit or part of the game?

Valve have a fairly robust policy, If you are caught cheating you can't play on Valve secured servers on any game in your account.
Thing is it takes about two weeks for them to ban you. So you have two weeks of happy wall,speed,aim hax.

It's another two weeks to make a complete fool of yourself, lose any friends you may have made in-game, and spend money on any subs/purchases you'll never see or be able to use again.

Permaban is good :)
