Ok, this bug has been here for quite some time now (at least a year). And I seriously think it’s time for it to be fixed.
The bug ?
Your ship is one shoted by hitting a rock, even at really low speed.
The bug is totally random. Rare, but not rare enough to never happen.
I have absolutely no idea about how to reproduce it. But it is definitely here
Proof by a screenshot, and logs.
9k damage on a fighter only by strafing. That is obviously a bug.
Yeah collision damage isn’t really all that consistent. I mean irl a tiny bump at these speeds would have crushed a conventional plane like a tin can, but idk.
It’s even worse on the Stingray, because not only do you take 6-10k collision hits at any speed, but your hull is only like 6k total. XD

We’re not talking about the same thing.
I’m talking about a bug that randomly one shot you whatever your ship is.
I know this bug maybe a lot of ship has the same problem. We need a review on collision sistem.
Can be reproduced. Use cruise engine and be under some gravitational effect, hit anything at any angle. Boom!
Can apply to fast inties too but less reliably produced. I think it has to do with the added drag effect making any collision count for the max angle. But yeah also happens at random sometimes when just trying to scrap off a spy drone.
This inconsistent collision damage is so annoying, especially when dead ship hulls appear right in front of you and there happens to be gravy hole within 2k.
if you are travelling at above 700 you are almost guaranteed to one shot by any collision dmg in any angle, that is pretty much why cap 700 was introduced, even though it can be slightly overcomed
but looks like Swifter is talking about different case.
I get THUD medal sometimes even below 700m/s, like surfing a flat wall.

The screenshot I took is on a ship having 450 max speed.
And it happened to me even on a frigate.
I just get one shoted randomly for absolutely no reason at all.
I got my Achievements/Events ‘Deadly kiss’ by ramming a destroyer in Co-op but didn’t got my Achievements/Events ‘Close contact’ by ramming a frigate in PvP in a Tharga?? Did not cause enaugh damage? Why?
My Command exploded today, just from one supposed collision hit. Something is wrong!
