You can ram warppoints too!

Very occasionally useful if your ship is crippled, has no SDD and you can't let it be captured at any cost.

Ramming planets used to give an RCE error. But I guess they fixed that at some point.

My guess is it rammed you.

edit: Did the AI ship run away or approach? If it approached to the adjacent square, it did ram you. This is a common strategy used on some of the better AI's (like in the TDM Modpack) for ships without offensive weapons (like colonizers).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmm, that would have to be it then. It did charge me instead of running away. However, I actually did consider the possibility that it rammed me but I felt it should have been more heavily damaged than it was after a ram. But I suppose that crystal armour was the difference.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Crystal Armour? Then it was the Tessellate! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I have used the same approach that Rollo used with the United Flora (well, except the UF is vulnerable to ID attacks because their ramming ships had not shields).
