Fighter issues.

You can do so in tactical, and you don't *need* a warhead to ram: an unarmed ship can ram just fine. Still, warheads can target anything except seekers.

Alneyan is correct. The reason I was trying to do it in a simultaneous game is I am going to be playing in a PBW game here at some point in time, and I'm trying to refine my tactics.

Alneyan is *always* correct. Inflated egos aside, I am not sure you really want to make your units ram: they will ram right to the bitter end, so you can lose a lot quickly... though it's not that much a problem if you only use small fighter stacks (a ram against a planet does not stop until the colony has been destroyed).

Of course, since the strategical AI will never try to ram planets, that point is moot.
