Ok , so it's my first thread on this forum , so please don't judge me too much.
First of all I'm enjoying Elite even at it's current stage and I understand that it's still a long time before this game will be released. Yet I wish this game to be as close as possible to being perfect as a game can be.
The thing that bothers me a lot right now is the ship collision damage. So far , what it seams to me is that there is some sort of a funny trick , if speed is more then x ships will insta kill each other. it happened to me so many time , when a small federal fighter crashes in to me form behind while I sit in my Cobra with full shields and hull , we both get destroyed. Happened several times with SideWinder and Eagle as well , so it not a bug. Yet bumping other ships with 5% hull and no shield at about 100<speed will result in nothing.
Am I the only one having this problem? If this how it supposed to works , i can already see an exploit where new players in SideWinders will just ram all more powerful ships. Now what I'm thinking: there must be fair way to balance this game mechanic , it can be interesting , yet must be balanced.
