You have a good point. And that crazy bLast-the-engines idea would only work in Tactical combat.

There is also the option of setting the secondary attack priority to Ram. If I am not mistaken, that will make a ship, once deprived of the ability to shoot at its enemies, into a rampaging juggernaut of

"HHUUG MMEEE!"
*WHAM!

Which ought to vex any capture ship attempting to close with it. That has some significant entertainment value as well. I will have to try that out.

Come to think of it, I don't know if I've seen much of any ram-strategy out of the AI... do any of the AIs ever ram?

Is ramming even a viable tactic? I seem to remember something about Organic-Armored Ram Escorts, but does anyone make use of this sort of thing?
