And if you managed to somehow tank your cruiser-sized ship through all the defenses and mildly competent capsuleer can do, you realize that your ship just bounced off and you died in a ball of fire.
I still support having merc cannons instead of ramming ships, much more elegant.

These, who LITERALLY invented and perpetuate the mentality of "Welcome to New Eden, now HTFU scrub." Self-interested hypocrites. And I say thst as a pod pilot myself.
Thing is, if Dust is to grow to its fullest potential it needs to stop being an amusing sideshow and cash cow for EvE alliances with nothing better to do, and move right into the territory of becoming a potential threat (and by inference, a potential boon) to the wider Eden community. They need to be scared of us, we need to be wary of them. That social dynamic needs to happen, and it can only be brought to life through well-judged game mechanics. That's fine, it is something I really want to be able to do some day.
Thing is, ramming an MCC, a vehicle only meant for ground deployment, to any kind of capsuleer ship with a competent pilot is foolish at best, a death sentence at worst. If we are to have reasonable boarding mechanics involved, it would have to be something more sophisticated than ramming.
