so if you have a 200 dmg warhead thats 200 dmg for them and only 120 for you.

No, the damage the other ship does is a function of its size; the size of your ship's warhead doesn't affect how much damage you take.

It was my understanding that if a ramming ship has a warhead (or more) on it, the warhead damage is applied to both ships. The target ship's warheads (if any) do not do any damage.

Fyron, I did just that and my ship simply headed to a corner with all the other unarmed ships. I refitted to include a weapon, but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Does it need a weapon or did I do something else wrong?

Did you set it to Ramming strategy? Maybe it is Kamikaze Attack or something. It should work though.

Yes, the strategy title is Ram, and the movement strategies are ram/ram. Everything else is kind of maximized. Break formation, attack any and all targets (except planets). I don't like to limit my ships too much.
