Not really as easy as you would think it to be, the ST races use "mass-lightening" Tech to allow them to travel at or near C. Since much of the damage from ramming is directly attributed to a vessel's mass, the lack of it may negate the damage you would expect. Although the extent can't be quoted for sure, the lack of ramming in ST seems to back this up.Baffalo wrote:Metahive wrote:Further, while I certainly can agree that damaging the ISD will make things easier, all a cube would really need to do is just ram the ISD and let simple physics overwhelm the shields. We know the ISD can take a beating, but when you get a Borg ship travelling at a good fraction of c, then hitting another object, I highly doubt the shields could hold. While we never see the damage from Empire Strikes Back when two ISDs collide, some damage must have occurred. A Cube is much larger and, therefor, probably masses more as well.
(The only time I remember seeing it used is against the Odyssey and then it seemed to be a chain reaction not much direct damage done that did the work.)
