Slick.
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.
Crystal Armour? Then it was the Tessellate! 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).
