Default Re: Beef #1: Ramming

This raises another point, but one I am not so sure about. Can you ram a satellite or a planet. I suspect you can not. Even if reasonable number of your rammers survive, you can not get past my static defenses.
You CAN ram sats, fighters, planets, & bases. The problem is that your ship gets vaped without doing a whole lotta damage when you lose a ram.

You can even ram warppoints, in case you don't want to avoid being captured.

It'd be much more difficult to intercept 12 individual targets (or however many marines make up a boarding party) than it would be to down a single assualt craft, which helps explain why there's no chance modelled for interdicting the boarding party before it reaches its target.
How about 200 Marines, with 100 tons of boarding/combat/control equipment EACH.
