It's already in the works. The Minmatar version is already done

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

What a jolly idea.

Thorax aside, having two Avatars duking it out would then pretty much give the term "cockblocking" a whole new dimension.

Make the Phantasm the Melee ship, everytime you bump someone with your spikes, he takes 250 damage to structure. Make the Phantasm useful again!

more undocking bays and a get to go from Station control solves most of those problems.

you could also fix it so it needs a particulair speed be for it can ram someone (Ramming speed) wich might need active propulsion mod to adchieve.

Problems are there to be solved. I like the idea of a ramming vessle.

Or just make it instapop everything, so you can kill at least a bunch of those peasants blocking your undock before concord vaporizes you!

Suggestions from jellyfish (that land from whatever fantasy war games they play) are always good for a laugh.

This one looks too perfectly stupid to not be a troll though.

i can recall 1 instance of ship to ship action which resulted in direct contact between 2 ships. A scene from babylon 5 where 1 Omega destroyer rams another.. of course both ships were destroyed lol

There's actually plenty of that nonsense in sci-fi. Hell, it wasn't even the only ramming attempt in B5.

Regardless, melee ships are a terrible idea, and OP should feel terrible - but you, you my friend, should be created a Viscount of the Internets. And as for me, I'm going to drink more and re-watch Severed Dreams. Great B5 episode, or greatest B5 episode?
