I really wouldn't advise that unless you want see your insurance rebuy screen even quicker. All skimmers are now effectively impossible to ram
Seriously? I admit I havent encountered goliaths yet but normal skimmes exploded nicely after a short caressing with beam lasers.
Not any more - you will find your ship without thrusters and heavily damaged ! [haha]
Same with Skimmers, you cannot target them imediate. Just when they are hostile, you can target them.
So shoot them with lasers without targeting (must aim manually to manage this), then they get hostile and then you can target them.

I've managed to take goliath with SRV in 2.0. Keep the distance so he misses almost all of his shots. Put pips into weapons and slowly chip away his health. When rocket salvo comes in put pips into shields and reverse quickly. Some of them might hit terrain. Managed to take 3 salvos before losing shields. Slso, don't park your ship too close - they will attack it)
Your reply reminds me that I did the same with my SRV, caused more by desperation than skill on my part. I found taking shelter under a structure (either an overhang or a ramp or something similar), the goliath could rain down missiles at me but not do too much damage, yet I could fire back. But I think eventually, moving back and forth under the structure, the goliath got tempted to move and destroyed itself on the structure above me ! So exploiting this weakness may be the solution.
