Except that they are one use only. Organic armored battleships can easily ram dozens of ships by themselves, and cost a huge amount less than an equal power of drones would cost (including maintenance of the ramming ship).

Another great part about the OA rammers is that if they enemy's strategies are set improperly, they can easily absorb a huge number of weapons being fired at them, thus protecting your more expsensive war ships.

Fyron are you sure that a ship can ram more than once?? I tried this in the simulator and the attacking/ramming ship was always destroyed, even if it had much more hit points than the ship that was rammed.
