Starfighter Assault: Ramming???
You know when you accidentally clip a piece of debris floating in space in the D'Qar map? Or when you collide with a pillar under the platforms in Kamino? Or right into the side of the Resurgent Star Destroyer's hull in Unknown Regions? Kills you instantly, right? And it kinda makes sense, in a flimsy little starfighter flying at high speeds.....
But what about Hero ships?
Hero ships, sure they'd blow up colliding with some of the other stuff. But what if THEY could have that same effect on non-Hero ship starfighters? The Millennium Falcon, as big as it is, should fair quite well when ramming into a smaller, weaker starfighter, yeah? All of a sudden, that Falcon getting swarmed by every bad guy starfighter on the map can use it's speed boost to ram them while trying to get some distance.
And, yeah, sure, many of you will say no, bad idea, etc, and you're going to say so, but I want to hear from people who can see the positive here, and ideas on how this could affect the game in a good way.

Who doesn't enjoy ramming?
I want to take this conversation in an entirely inappropriate direction because I think it'd be funny, BBBUUUTTT...........
I dunno. Someone would complain, someone always does *rolls eyes*, but it this case I think it'd be a hit. I mean, just think of the KAMIKAZE attacks when players start to get bored, it'd still be funny to watch!!!
"Cracked off all your missiles"???? This sounds kinda fun. Can you elaborate, or show a pic, or video or something???
Aaaaaaand, thats exactly why ramming must stay out of SA. Period.
Dont mess with the best game mode in BF II.
They mesh through each other, but if you're stuck inside each other for more than a second, you start taking damage. Applies to both enemy and friendly ships
And yet, this would be a great opportunity for those WITH the skills to show us their stuff, and take such unskilled newbs out. OVERRULED!
There were no jokes about missiles, and the "ramming" joke disappeared after two comments and we went back to the topic, and this happened long before you came around and left your own comment. If you're going to be in charge-ish, do your job right, and be more perceptive, otherwise I'll keep calling you out for exactly what you are.....a bad cop, a.k.a. crook with a badge........, NO, worse, a bad wannabe rent-a-cop, effectively a wannabe crook with a badge.
This "bad joke" disappeared until you brought it back up. YOU did that. Your post is more about YOU, a MODERATOR, than anyone else here, and the rest of us ARE on topic.
Bad dog! BAD! Look what you did! Look at it! We don't do that inside! We do that outside! Shame on you! You need to be potty trained!
True that. Some maps have stuff that gets in the way, like the massive tree branches on Kashyyyk, but I just accept it because those trees also make great cover! Starkiller Base, on the other hand, is wide open air, no cover.
Hey, BTW, now that I'm thinking about it, if you're in a starfighter about to die, and you ram into people (enemies) on the ground, does it kill them? Haven't done that in a while, and those matches usually wound up being a rush, andd I wasn't paying attention, and thought about it just now since it was sorta relevant.
To be honest I have never died from being rammed. I am usually in a droid tank or AT-ST when it happens and don't really even loose much health when it happens. So it's really some free points as I get the kill and vehicle destroyed points when they ram me.
Dang! I mean, that's fun, but just doesn't seem right.
