I find it hit and miss trying to ram them. If theres any lag, then no way, but if the lag is down on both, you can turn slightly just before impact to do it (also feels like if your ship is rotated to the side, it helps)

I always go for a 65 degree angle.

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

I aim just a little bit left and below of the spiky point, if you cant get a good ram in your first few attempts then just leave it as its far too annoying for everyone else.

Aim for the gills. It's a bit slower than the other factions but you can get them to a nice 90-ish.

Rix ships are pointy because when the elite warriors from the Bloody Lances run out of ammo, they use their pointy ships to stab their foes to death.

Ask El Weedo. He'll tell you.

Yes I am from India. I live in West Bengal-Kolkata. How did u guessed it? because debdoot is a bengali(regional language) word and its hard to be known by ppl from other country. I am quite surprised!

We could always make a flat hitbox where the tail is to make em easier to ram, ofcourse, they will be easier to hit from behind, but that way they will feel GigaCorp's and Technoflux's pain.
