Let's never forget this tactic does work! Skip to 7.02.....I can't get the time set properly.
Ah, Operation Ram's Head. **** those Rebel Scum!

Operation Rams Head indeed. This wouldnt happen if the Imperials weren't so bloody neat with their parking!
I would love to see 6 corvettes ram one of my VSDs... You're going to take those really fragile ships and get in close range and take a damage card. I'm going to eat 2 of your corvettes when my VSD activates and likely do something to get rid of at least one of those damage cards. Then my other VSD eats another couple wounded Corvettes and suddenly you have 2-3 weak Corvettes against a badly damaged VSD and another healthy one. If I have Motti, you tactic gets even worse. Seriously not worried about a "swarm" of ramming small ships at this point.
I dont think it has been mentioned yet (even though everyone knows this) but the star destroyer does get 2 attacks, so when all is said and done the 1 vic that was rammed by 5 corvettes has probably killed 2 of them plus the shots by at least one more cap and fighters. that's alot of dead corvettes in one turn
as has been mentions before, i will gladly welcome any rebel who tries to ram my ship, and will proceed to shred him.
(btw this is totollay a post with "lots" of "original" ideas)
Also don't forget that VSD's have an engineering value of 4, which makes it more survivable then you'd expect.
