There's one complaint that I have in Disco right now and that's ramming.

Can fighters and bombers PLEASE avoid capital ships when in a fight? I mean, flying 10metres from the hull of a Battleship does no one good except for the fighter/bomber's friends who are fighting the capital ship.

Nothing worse than having a rather even fight with another capital ship and just when you are about to launch your Morters and your ship is whacked up 45 degrees. Not only does it frustrate things to no end but it can often ruin a fight.

Accidents can happen and that's fine but when it's plainly obvious that the pilot is simply not even trying to avoid the ship, it gets annoying.

So please, can fighters and bombers avoid hitting into a capital ship that isn't even moving?

Wait till 85. then fighters and bombers will see getting close to caps as pure suicide. Flack turrets ftw

On another note. Making a thread like this wont help, people will do it still because...they just do. There is nothing you can do about it really, sanctions wont help either. Its just how people are. Get used to it.

yep ramming is ugly... I know it from my gunship but I believe nobody do it intentionaly.

Well I never ram intentionally, but it is rather hard when we attack a capital ship with VHFs with razors and I have to dodge a hailstorm of bullets and still drop a razor shot every 5-6 seconds. So flying close to the ship is essential, and sometimes(1-2 per fight) I just can't help but ram that ship, it's not that easy. As Kambei said, most people don't do it intentionally.

If anyone reading the thread has the thought 'Maybe i'll stay a little bit further away from their hull in the future' then it has served it's purpose.
It's really just a general plea for people to be more considerate to those who spin like nothing else when even nudged.

You must understand that you said yourseld. Anyone who read this thread. But those who are registered to know so, have read the rules, thus they know. Those who know and ignore the rule for ramming, its their fault.
But what about those who cannot be arsed to join the forum? They wont do much to care if you spin around like a meep, theill just do what they can to win a PvP battle.

Ah well. Its just how things are. Not everyone follow rules like most of us do. So you cant ask that from anyone.

In short, those who see this thread dont do it allready more likely. Those who do ram, well, they probably dont see this thread right now.

Ramming...
If you've tried a fighter in a cap fight, you might notice that it is rather hard to avoid running into a cap hull. We can be flying around, avoiding you, and then get swatted out of the sky when you turn.

Then, to add realism... someone should add to .85 new feature... when Fighter class crushes into cruiser+ in full speed, fighter will explode. You know, if someone says it is uavoidable... this feature will reveal the fact it is VERY avoidable.

Yah right. Then we'd have battleships ramming fighters xD

In Elvin's Sirius, battleships ram YOU!
