Re: Beef #1: Ramming
I use tactical combat in all cases, except when I'm bLasting/bombing a low pop. planet that I know doesn't have platforms. Ramming is useful against the AI because it is lacking in tactical combat. I'll use colony ships to ram the enemy because there is no retreat option and you can not avoid the enemy for 30 turns. I head straight for the enemy and ram before he has a chance to do much damage. The AI always comes toward the ship, it does not appear to try to stay out of range.
Has far as boarding forces: Not sure how boarding works in space but one of the best things about this game is the way it lets you imagine how things happen.
