Ramming usually, but not always, destroys the smaller ship. The smaller ship definately gets the worst of it!

Ramming is one thing that has REALLY changed since the earlier Versions of the game. It used to be truly devastating.

Yes - and limp home afterwards. Colony ships definitely can take more damage than frigates. (Come to think of it, it might have been an escort - it's been a while.) At any rate, whatever I ran into (twice), it died and the colony ship didn't.
