Default Re: Ramming speed help

A warhead on the ramming ship causes its listed amount of damage to both the target ship and the attacking ship during a ram. It does not destroy the attacker unless it does enough damage to do so. A warhead is not triggered if it is on the target ship.

Default Re: Ramming speed help

Last time I tried the ramming tactic the ships would ram alright, but they would only ram the "most dangerous" enemy ship instead of the closest enemy ship. This totally ruins the strategy against any type of fleet as the ramming ships all get shot to pieces before they get to the "most dangerous" ship in the back (e.g. the minesweepers happen to be a larger ship size than the front line ships). I did quite a bit of fooling around with this and I'm pretty sure that this behaviour is hard cooded and not changeable, but I would love ot be shown the error of my ways!
