stealth means no dots at all, not even a flicker.

remember the pegasus in the nebula, no dots there other than those of your wingmen.

Stupid Question: What attribute makes a ship stealth?

In the beginning of FS1 there are no shields and the AI are really bad for hitting each other and the player. And I personally found myself loosing my temper with that. V probably realised in testing and rather than go back and fix the AI (which could take ages) decided to go with the cheap option and lower the damage.

This damage level was probably kept for FS2.
I use ramming as a tatic to knock enemies into different flight patterns if they are difficult to hit.

Any such change should be optional (default off).
