What does it mean absolute? Ramming should be only kinetic because you know...kinetic energy...

Absolute because you know... Gameplay...

Absolute It means an untyped damage that bypasses most resistances.

I'm fairly certain it used to be kinetic, but was changed to absolute around the time absolute damage was introduced. They probably didn't want shield kinetic resistance to make ships immune to planets, especially after they had already reduced collision damage by 60% not long before Horizons.

Though I have used ramming to good effect, it's a pretty cheesy game feature.

TBH, ramming should damage all ships involved and a tactic of last result, but that's only my opinion.

I watched an AspX ram a Thargoid Scout at a CZ today ..... it carried it away on its nose
