Default Re: kamikaze ships

No, people. The problem with ramming satellites is that in SE4, the game puts all satellites in one place, where they can be rammed all at once. Even if one accepts that this is a reasonable abstraction, it still makes zero sense to allow ships to ram all of them at once. If it required one movement point to ram each satellite (or, for the ship to stop, or a limit of one ram per turn), then I wouldn't have much problem with it, but ramming all of the satellites the enemy can deploy, all at once, is just nonsense, just like ramming an entire squadron of fighters with a less-maneuverable ship that's smaller than the fighters would be spread out, is.
