Reavers: Terror of the Verse

Rammers of the verse
So I've only had 2 reavers attack me so far, the first one was in space and it charged my asteroid base full speed and slammed it self into my base not giving a single F about the rain of bullets hitting it.
2nd I am was in space on my way down to a planet and the reaver followed me home, it was about 5km behind me when I landed, it then when full speed into the middle of my base and made a crater easily 50m deep through and under my base before my turrets could disable it (to be clear the reaver was in range of turrets for about 4 seconds before slamming into the base)
Is this intended or is something going wrong, there is very little I can do apart from completely atomising any enemy reavers before they can ram my base.

They chase their targets relentlessly, more than likely this is part of the mod since their main goal is to "board" you, being cannibalistic. However, I think if the mod could recognize terrain, at least, to slow down that'd be helpful for asteroid bases and the likes.

as long as i have been using this mod, the barbaric and suicidal nature of the reavers has always been there. if youve ever watched the Firefly TV series or the Serenity movie, it makes sense considering they will chase you down with little thought to their own safety.

if you havent watched the Source material, you should, good show/movie!

There is one way to stop at least small crafts, and thats to have a really big guns that will knock them off course, cant help with large grid crafts, unfortunately, maybe you have to make your roof out of heavy armor blocks or drills

I'm gonna have to keep this in mind but for me this makes the mod alot more appealing because i mean imagine that exact scenario! A reaver is rapidly approaching your main base on a direct collision course and you have to stop it somehow so what do you do? I could see some pretty cool creations being made as a result of this mod

I deinstalled for now after one big mofo hit my asteroid and literally vanished while leaving a big crater.

I will come back as soon as this is fixed. Boarding is not ramming and obliterating the ship the reavers are supposed to be in.

I am using this with the Defense Shield Mod, and with static grids having the BIGGEST Shield States there are, well the just smash into their own death. Even Without a shield just a pseudo "Defensiv Net" to intercept thjem is good enough to deal with this problem. I threat Reavers like i would suicidal drones, with "Spaced Armor"

Rail Guns do a good job off knocking Reavers off course. Unfortunately railguns also will accelerate a dead ship to more than 100 m/s.
