Default Re: SE4 and the Navy

Trying to move this conversation back into the realm of SEIV... Have you ever rammed a ship? Drake suggested using colony ships to ram the enemy ships instead of running them into the corner to hide. This works great! My huge world with 25 mineral miners was being attacked by a fleet of 3 frigates and 3 destroyers by a former ally. (Really, I was just caught with my pants down. But I'll say it was a former ally so you don't pick on me.)

All I had in orbit were three colony ships and 12 fighters. The three destroyers had Point Defense Cannons. All six of the enemy ships just had Capital Ship Missile I's otherwise. I rammed the three destroyers with my colony ships and then had my fighters target the destroyer that survived ramming. I won! I won! I won!

Ramming is cool!
