Ramming Etiquette

Using research to allow ramming is like needing research to put engines on a ship...

maybe not a research but a damage nerf most likely. One bug can take out even a cruiser class vessel like the akira or intrepid with ramming. Not to mention that the bugs don't go down too fast to destroyer weapons.

The solution seems simple to me.

Either:
Bugs can always ram, but the damage ramming does scales with rank (as more experienced crews know how to ram better, and it keeps a bunch of fresh, green bugs from destroying everything)
Or
Only high ranking bugs can ram (or at least level 2) but they do the same or similar damage they do now (as more experienced crews know how to ram better, and it keeps a bunch of fresh, green bugs from destroying everything)
