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.

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).
