Default Re: v1.35 bug/feature (concerns fighters mostly)

My experiments with ramming in the simulator seem to show that you *can* get your ships to ram in strategic mod, but only if:

- Your ship has no weapons or tractor beams(you can have PDCs)
- You don't want to ram fighters or satellites.

Sorry for the confusion - I was referring to the PDC, and the fact that the _PDC_ don't have a 550% bonus to hit; fortunately, you and Daynarr have explained how PDC can have a 70% chance to hit without resorting to a 550% "to hit" bonus (yeah, it's really "modifier to offense plus" or something, but hopefully you know what I mean here )
