Default Re: Ramming/Kamakazi tactics

my experience if you use the cobalt warhed on a ramming ship both ship get destroyed.


Nope. That's not always the case.

I've been doing some testing yesterday and my conclusion is that ramming ships are just too expensive. Same goes to the fighters - a large fighter with 2 kamakazi warheads will cost you around 650 minerals depending on your design, and it did only 18 damage each! How many will you need to take out a line Barium class DN of mine with 3000 shields?

Edit: Just did a ramming test with my line coloniser and it did only 186 damage, destroying itself in the process. That's hardly a dent in my DN's shield!
