Ramming Damage

[couslee]

Me either. I mis-understood it too. I just did another quick test not using the ramming ship
I attacked
He took 60% of my HP in damage
I took 100% of his HP in damage
Damaged components are not included, only remaining HP are used.

warhead test will have to wait until I get a ship hardy enough to survive the above +300. I fear it adds 300 damage to each ship. but no idea until it can be tested.

Edit in.
That stinks. If your ramming, your are hitting nose first and structural planning would be used to make that the most resistant to impact (we have bumpers on cars,eh?) When your ramming, you could be doing a corner ram at the engines, or a broadside. you would cause more damage than you would recieve. I think the setting are backwards, but that is just my opinion.
