Idea(Ramming the Enemy)

[terminateu]

So i thought of a new idea. If you Ram the enemy it deals damage. But sitting on the enemy does not do damage, you have to repeatedly keep ramming into it. Because this game is auto-fire it wouldn't interfere much with shooting. I realize this seems really hard to code. It may be impossible to make inertia affect damage in the coding, but it may be possible to make just touching it do damage. This wouldn't work on Convoys and other enemies that you can pass through. So what do you guys think? Impossible to code?

Only if it also does damage to your tank. Maybe this would teach people to use their tank's range.

I naturally love this idea since I end up ramming enemies a lot. It'll be a (literal?) double-edged sword if the player also takes damage, since most of the time I only get friendly with the enemy either accidentally (I still find it hard to control my tank) or to jam a disabler down an entire group.

Glad to see people like it, most people on the IRC liked it too when i asked their opinion

Well, it would be interesting to see a mutual-damage ramming implemented, as that would not only make minions more deadly, but it would be a high risk method of increasing your DPS. However, I'd frankly prefer it if a whole tank was based on melee and ramming capabilities, as that would be much more interesting to play than just one of the current tanks + ramming.

I don't know about recoil damage, its about half and half right now, some people want recoil, some don't.

Recoil damage is usually a result of a ram attack, it would make sense to include it.

Interesting idea.
Perhaps physically bigger tanks could have more ramming damage? Ex. Spectre

Yay!!! Everyone seems to like it, even rob, may be implented
