Bjorked collision physics makes me want to combat-log.

Was cruising around a hostile system in my A-fitted Python doing missions to rank up with Federation when I'm interdicted by a pair of competent rated Cobra CMDRs. They open fire and I return in kind. I take one of the Cobra's shields down and he runs so I turn on the other. The first Cobra is only 70% hull with no shields and he circles around to my tail. I flip off FA, 180 for a clear shot and pull the trigger. He's only a couple meters out, heading straight at me, and I have 2 bars of shields so I hit the boost. I slam into him at 200+ and he goes down to 57% hull while my shields pop and I'm at 56% hull. What in the actual ? I'm so that I immediately jump out of system. If the odds weren't so in my favor I probably would have combat-logged after some bull like that.

Anyone else had problems with tactical ramming where the other guy should have been space-debri but instead you're the one limping away? Right now I am livid that I had to bug out in the face of a pair of a chums.

Do you not know the Cobra's hull is most often compared with a Nokia phone? Also did you put 4 pips to systems when ramming to keep your shields strong?

I've been rammed by a cobra and taken damage too, not sure if it's a bug with the pythons shields as I'd also like someone to clarify something
-
The other day I was fighting another CMDR python and I had 1 pip on shields when he started firing and was taking moderate shield damage ( he had 3 large burst lasers and 2 mediem Multicannons) and the moment I switched to 2 pips my shields basically instantly collapsed, 2-3 seconds passed maybe but I saw them draining massively until they were gone
-
I also rammed a cobra CMDR and had 2 pips and full shields and my shields went offline and I went down to 70% hull in one ram, his shields remained online and he lost 1 ring
-
So either there's more cheaters than we think or something is secretly wrong with the python and having 2 pips to shields, I also run 3 shield boosters

Python against Cobra...
If you had at least 2 Pips and big Shields w/ Boosters (typical A-Grade Python layout)... then this CMDR likely ran a Mass and Hull Multiplicator cheat.
But for that to be the case, their behaviour would have to add up - i.e. they constantly try to ram you instead of conventional combat.

6A Shields, 3 A-rated Shield Boosters, 2 pips into shields. He rammed me before he opened fire but i didn't think much of it since it only took down a bar of shields. Even if he had multiple hull reinforcements he should have taken more than 10% damage compared to my shields + 40% damage.
