->''The capital ships of Species 5 have very powerful defensive screens that make them almost invulnerable to our attacks. We believe that the only way to defeat this enemy is to ram them with our ships until they are destroyed.''

->'''Narrator:''' When ramming an enemy, the captain is required to shout something useless at the top of his lungs.\\
'''Ore Freighter Captain:''' RAMMING SPEED!\\
'''Narrator:''' This is silly because technically you can ram at any speed. It would make more sense to announce an actual speed, using units of measure, appropriate to the amount of damage you wish to inflict. Shouting "Ramming speed!" only serves to alert everyone on deck to the impending event, allowing them to assume crash positions or otherwise brace for impact. This of course renders the next mandatory shouted command redundant at best.\\
