I saw a lot of people using that trick on base or asteroid, tho. However, admin green already stated that it's abuse and thus, sanctionable. I was just too lazy to submit a report, but i'm a bad role model.
' Wrote:Ramming is a cheap, very unrealistic tactic. In the past, I've watched snub pilots purposely ram a dread just to keep it from being able to fight, constantly spinning it out of control. I mean, if an X-wing fighter in Star Wars rammed a Star Destroyer, what would happen? Yeah, the X-wing go poof and the Star Destroyer might have a scratch!
Kudos to dragonoid for his supperb ramming, didnt even bother to hide it (Dragonoid: (and i qoute) "run order, ill bump him so he cant follow)
My point: lets assume he wasnt as daft to say that line, how would i prove it hmm? one bump is already enough to make the other bs get out of range and in a fight i dont have the time to keep my fingers happy on my screenshot button waiting for the exact moment he bumps
A Psalm out of the outcast history books.
The dons are our shepherds; I shall not want. They make us live with a cause; They lead us trough the still vasts of space. They restore our souls; They lead us in the paths of righteousness For The Orange Dream. Yai, though we fly through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil; For the Spirits are with us; Your leadership and Your cardamine, they comfort us. You prepare a safe home for us in the presence of our enemies; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us All the days of our life; And we will dwell in the house of the outcasts Forever

Fraps demo can record thirty seconds of video. Record it, upload it to youtube, include link in sanction report.
Of course, bumping isn't against the rules anyway, so it doesn't matter...
' Wrote:In that case, mooring externally to a station while under fire and all of a sudden becoming invincible is just as unrealistic. I don't see too much of an issue here.
As is in the first place attacking someone right infront of his homebase. Bad counterexample Aeternus Doleo.
' Wrote:To be honest, ramming something in a fighter is a tactical choice now, which is neat.
"neat" is the best word you can come up with to describe a snub being able to completely flip a transport, liner, cap, or barge in the opposite direction? Do you think that should be allowed.
' Wrote:- the flipping of a big ship is an act that defies even freelancer physics - flipping a barge around is .. well.. in one work "mean" ( but it appears not be a violation to the rules anymore )
my point exactly

you've seen this? Let me get your opinion on this. Suppose a liner with CAU8 gets attacked by a heavy fighter. The liner can easily escape even if it doesn't have guns capable of hitting a HF. However, every time the liners moves towards its intended destination, the HF flips it completely in the opposite direction so it can't go anywhere and as it keeps getting flipped it is incapable of fighting. Should this be allowed?
