Default Re: Problems with ramming

Pablo, for me it works to give the ship the startegy to capture enemy ships: Primary startegy to board, secondary strategy to ram. If the enemey ship has no SDD and does have shields, and my ship has only organic armor and shield depleters it will attack, fire the sield depleters until the shields are gone, board the enemy ship, and then it will find another enemy ship and attempt to ram until the battle is over.

If the enemy ship has SDD though this strategy is suicide as my ship will simply hang out not doing anything, will not even attempt to do it's secondary strategy and ram. It also will not work if the enemy has shields and my ship has no shield depleters. In this case my ship again will do nothing, not even ettepmt to ram, until the enemy comes for me and destoys me.

Are you on 1.78? If not that is why you are having trouble getting boarding to work with shield depleters. There was a bug but it was fixed.
