Boarding and Ramming Targets

[teal]

Started a new game vs. the AI Last night and thought I would try out being a suicidal/psycho ramming race. This actual works much better than I thought it would. Problem is that the targets the ramming ships choose are just screwy. They always seem to pick the "strongest" ship and will go sailing off towards that ship even though it is slow and in the back of the opppenents fleet and will get chewed up and eaten for breakfast as it goes past the smaller ships in the oppenents fleet. I want my ramming ships to ram the nearest ship so that they can do some damage before getting blown out of space. I spent a long time screwing around with strategies, but it doesn't seem that anything you tell it to do in the *targeting* portion of the strategies will effect the target of the kamikaze attack. If you put a direct fire weapon on your ramming ship it will just fire at those little ships it passes on its way by... :| So is there any way to alter the targets of a ramming attack or am I just out of luck? A little bit of testing seems to reveal that boarding attacks are the same way.

Note: I always play simultaneus move/no tactical combat even vs. the AI.
