If you can be a bit more specific with some of the other balance issues you've encountered, then I might be able to provide some more insight.

Perhaps a ships could employ the over/under collision avoidance unless some sort of 'ram order' was issued. This may be the best solution in my opinion.

Edit:

I've posted a comment with my suggestion to improve the current system in the beta forum. I'll let you know what becomes of it.
