battering ram vs planks

[Lindra]

getting fed up with pvp rapidly.
whats the point of physics this and that when its only partial ?

sailing a ship, in a straight line, someone parks in front of you, you hit them, you stop, they board you.

no sorry

if i hit your stationary side planking at an sort of velocity, with that tonnage of boat, my bow is going through your side, not bouncing off it, and you sure as hell arent going to be merrily boarding me, your going to be trying to scrape bits of your crew off my figurehead

can we please do something about this, because as it stands at the moment, its pathetic cheap no-risk tactic to stop a ship.

i wouldnt mind being stopped in my tracks, as long as your entire side armour is gone, structure to naff all %, and half your crew dead, the rest demoralised.
