Yea, Just the other day I had a planet that an allie had parked 3 destroyers over. He keep them there for over 50 turns. Since We we partners and it looked like we had good relations,I took my fleet that also was parked over the planet and moved to the war front. As soon as my fleet was out of range my allie broke the treaty and attacked the planet. I had 2 colony ships, two small mine layer transports, 3 small sat layer transports and a large pop transport, one escort in orbit. Since the AI always attacks the strongest they started to attack the planet. MY unarmed ships actually defended the planet and took out all 3 destroyers. It was costly, 75m people died and we lost all ships except for the large transport. When it ram the ships it never exploded. The two seem to merge together and the enemy ship then could not move.
Ships with shields are alot less likely to to take any damage when you ram them. It takes quite a few ram ships to take out a shielded ship and you have to do all the hits together. (in the same turn)
