Anyone ever wanted to be able to ram capital ships? I've always wanted to attempt the "Wing Commander: Secret Missions" trick I used to do: fly straight at a capship and rake one of my wings across it - I'd take massive damage and lose a few guns, but I could cripple a destroyer with one atttack!

Wouldn't that be fun?

Being a kamikaze pilot would make for a short campaign...

It would also be nice if you could actually damage one of the Capital Ships from the inside. I just recently played "Evangelist" on FS1, where you have to blow up the Shivan Destroyer Eva. I looked at the Fighter Bays, and they are definitely big enough to let my ship in, yet it won't enter...only collision... It would be nice to actually enter the ship, wreck havoc from the inside and whack all the enemy fighters before they can even fly.

There's nothing inside the shi unfortunately. You can get into the fighterbay by adding the dont collide invisible flag to the ships.tbl entry for the demon, but you can only go a short way before you run out of model.

You may do it quite easily:

Event: set range between Alpha 1 and the target at 1m for example and when it becomes true: is destroyed alpha1 AND the target.

And then you become Hero of the Soviet Union - deceased

Wouldn`t it be nice? You still should have an opportunity to see the target exploding - after the death.

Has anyone disscussed the possibility of just saying that you managed to eject before you hit the ship? I mean, although it was never canon, or an option, You can assume there'd be an eject. how else did Mackie keep comming back (I'm preatty sure I killed him a few times)
