... The real problem is when does the computer determine that "Don't get hurt" isn't working?





In fact it doesn't work. My favorite Ram ship design (recently) is a ship full of organic armor 3 which is almost indestructable. It does not go over to ram strategy even when it is trapped in a corner.

But I have not found a strategy setting so far which rams colony ships or planets, both without weapons, no chance. Tried almost every possible targeting prio. My organic goat ship destroys every other ship (with weapons) though.
