Ramming, physical collision, ship to ship impacts. Lets be honest, tactical ramming isn't necessary, but may be a common end.
The story goes; 'I am going to do a conflict zone, anyone want to go?'.
'No, every time I do one I get rammed,' come the answers.
Ok, so I'll do it myself.
Fast forward to the combat zone. There are a lot of ships, targets, weapon fire. Choose a side and go nuts. Pew Pew, third one down, awesome. SMACK! ?? (SPINNING) EJECT. KABOOM.
Aww, collision, well not a big deal, only down about 43k now with my kills, oh wait, whatever, lets go again, just bad luck.
Back in the zone, two down this time, working on the third when it turns into me, fires and SMACK, CRACKS (SPINNING) EJECT. KABOOM.
Then repeat a third time. I log out, not having fun.
Completely killed it for me. Ramming is lame, for lack of a better term.
Is this too common, or was it a bad run on my part?
After all everyone else said not to go, you'll just get rammed.
I thought it was funny when I interdicted a wanted Viper who promptly turned a 180 and immediately killed himself smacking into my Cobra, but then having the shoe on the other foot a few times I would have to say its not amusing.
Collisions are going to happen, and they should end like a collision would. Fine.
How about faulting the jerk that hit me for the insurance, not me. Huh? That's how we do it in the real world.
How about making it a 50/50 at fault, half off insurance if NPC rams, split cost between players in other collisions, unless they both explode, but I haven't heard that happening yet, which is odd.
What would make it so Ramming didn't leave such a bad taste?
(if you haven't had this problem I am happy for you, but please don't post just to say so. KTHNX.)
