Yes, you can ram planets.
And, you can always send an email to Tim Brooks about the password issue. He might be willing to send you your password if you lost it.  |

Um... I knew you could ram planets in tactical ... 
... but, can you actually "win" the ram, and survive?

Re: what is this ship attacking me with?
You can ram warppoints too!
Very occasionally useful if your ship is crippled, has no SDD and you can't let it be captured at any cost.

Re: what is this ship attacking me with?
Ramming planets used to give an RCE error. But I guess they fixed that at some point.

Hmm, that would have to be it then. It did charge me instead of running away. However, I actually did consider the possibility that it rammed me but I felt it should have been more heavily damaged than it was after a ram. But I suppose that crystal armour was the difference.
Crystal Armour? Then it was the Tessellate! I have used the same approach that Rollo used with the United Flora (well, except the UF is vulnerable to ID attacks because their ramming ships had not shields). |

Re: what is this ship attacking me with?
didn't think about that. it's not lost, i just forgot it. i know where it is though. in the other computer, which is miles away having a checkup. 
where do i find Tim Brook's email anyway?
my password isn't bothering me so much as my list of Online comics is on that computer.
