I recently had the revelation that bumping into other ships will deal some damage, so I decided to actually try that as a tactic against the Onslaughts in the Hegemony Defense Force. It's pretty useful for bumping them away from my carriers, but I mean... IT DOESN'T DO DAMAGE!
I would understand that smaller ships wouldn't do too much damage bumping against another ship's hull/shield, but what about a cruiser? An Apogee with augmented engines slamming into the rear of an Onslaught does somewhere around 150-ish damage, tops. So... Why so weak? Collisions would seem like a much more interesting mechanic in the game if they did something else other than bump other ships.
