And for all the combat experince they have gained my crew doesn't even know how to avoid a PLANET while their captain tries to sit back and relax with time compress! Collision damage is way too severe. If something is going to bring down the game, this is it.

In reality if you were going to ram another ship, you'd probably do more than just lose your shields!! But I agree, there should be some automatic function to, say, orbit a planet when you get a certain distance from it rather than hitting it all the time.
