kamikaze ships
can ships set to kamikaze ram stacks of satelites ???
is there a decent way to prevent kamikaze ships to ram you ships? repulsar beam only works during my turn, so the next turn the kamikaze ships wil simply move towards my ships and crash into them...

I don't think they can ram sats. On a big ship (battleship or above) a full repulser can push them 12 away. People who play me know I use repulsers more than the average person. Make a few of these, set the class to look for unarmed ships first (if that is what is ramming you) and let them move them out of the way. A heavy mount will push them 12 sectors...usually out of the way for a turn. If you are at the low end of the ships, just try to have larger ships...that helps some.

Re: kamikaze ships
A more direct approach: max range strategy, long range DF weapons, and a combat speed equal to or faster than your opponent's. The object being to never let him get close enough to ram.

Can you ram stacks of satellites? Yes.
Can you make a strategy that will make your ships ram stacks in strategic combat (I assume this is what you mean by to set)? I haven't the slightest.
The only decent way to prevent kamikaze ships is to blow them out of the sky first; or have lots and lots of armor.

You can't in strategic. I've tried and tried and tried.  Fix in a patch please! |

Re: kamikaze ships
I'm wondering if the fix might be to not allow this to occur in Tactical. At least then it would be consistant.
