- I intend no further changes to the ramming damage behaviour unless there are more comments suggesting that it needs to be. Currently if two ships colide and the are reasonably small, no damage is done to either. In all other cases, damage is done to both ships proportional to their respective sizes

So, i tried it yesterday. 3 Shires, 2 Gunboats and a Templar in formation. In the end, after the trip from New York to Ontario, i had about 80+ bots missing, all other ships were damaged, too.

I think its a real disadvantage, should there a combat situation be coming up. I personally really dont like damage in formation flight. Nothing against taking damage when i bounce someone else when coming out of a lane. But dont we have navigational computers and navigational shields to avoid damages caused by little bounces in formation flights?

I really dont know if anyone uses formation often... I do. and so, im not confident with the actual development, sorry to say.
