Hide behind a cactus. Then hope the reaver thinks you're dead.

Good point about the reaver.

Wait, form what i've read the grief system only comes into affect when you do something to your own empire....or do i have it wrong

OK for people who don't like the ramming... alright... what wpuld you rather have happen? Just have the enemy slide forward on your bumper? Or maybey if you run into anyone your car is instantly engulfed in flames? Come on people! lol like napalm said, this is a war and your fender is a weapon. You can even see screenshots of this in game. A kill shows the killers name, a pic of a wepaon, and the victim. Well in lots of screenshots you see a killer, thena picture of a harraser, then a victim. It may be just for the side gun, but I bet if you run someone down your gonna get the same image. And you car does take damage for doin this, can't find the actual quote but I remeber that your vehical would take a bit of damage for runnin people down.

Agile - Reinforced may be tough but not tougher than 40-50 MPH of metal comin at them.

Although I am wondering, what happens if you crash a harraser into a deployed terran max. BRING IT JEEP BOY!

I'm not against ramming. But, the typical "impactor" does nothing but seekout things to impact. (without fear of retribution) Should not be rewarded with cake and icecream. A true impact has many different effects depending on the size of the object struck. If you're wearing MAX armor and are struck by a Harasser. There should be very serious damage delt to both. I know impacting will be in the game. Thats not the issue. The issue is what you get for it. You may very well have no alternative but to run someone down. But the way i see it. PPL looking for an occupation as an "impactor". Maybe shouldn't get rewarded for this as greatly as if they did something... oh i dunno... more useful?

What would i do in a situation where i'm stranded? In standard armor? With impactor in route and i know im hosed? Throw all my shit everywhere/ drop mine/ suicide/ respawn. I just won't give you the fuckin satisfaction. Get a real job.
