My argument was that if you thought ramming was so easy, then you should actually try it yourself. You wouldn't be effective at all, and you most likely wouldn't hit anything that was moving. At least not with any consistancy. If you weren't a complete dumbass and if you had some aspect of knowledge at all, your opinion might mean more than dog****.

OK.
You were in a T2 tribe that was ****ty at Tribes 1, my bad.
As long as Classic physics haven't changed since the final release, I had no trouble ramming players (who were still floaty, regardless of their speed).
I can use your argument against you, in saying that because you haven't played Tribes 1, you have no conception of the speed Tribes 1 players move at, and any idea of the physics in the game to base your facts on. Making all your comments regarding the game completely void.
Let's look at it like this:
Vir was good at Tribes 1, he had no trouble adapting to the T2 shrike, and realising how powerful it was, using it to his/his teams advantage.
Ramming players is hard, in your opinion based on the
one game you play (Out of the two). You have more skills using a shrike than just ramming though, no doubt.
I found no difficulty ramming players in the short period I played Classic. Possibly because I already had 3 years experience using a T1 scout (with similar, if not faster speeds) and ramming players. While I could see Blastering players and flying Shrikes through/under objects require some skill, more-so to somebody who has never touched a vehicle before.
Not many of the T1 players apart from 5150 saw how valuable vehicles were in Tribes 2 in 'the early days' (More important than being a good individual player so it seemed). So while everybody else was busy honing their individual 'player' skills, 5150 was learning to use the vehicles, and exploit the more powerful ones to their advantage. So you have less people using the vehicles, thinking this is a 'First Person Shooter', and practicing their positions.
I'll repeat what I said earlier.
If somebody who were good with Shrike/Scout in both games were to come here and tell me it's hard (lmao) to ram players. Your opinion would be worth alot more.
I have very high standards, and with my experience in Tribes 2, it's hard to blaster people with the Shrike, but
not hard to ram them.
You think it's hard to ram, Nothing I say is going to change this.
I think it's easy to ram, Nothing you say is going to change this.
Understand ?
How about we get back to what we were actually talking about before your ego-meter was threatened..
edit: For this other idiot.
There is no shrike in T1, they're different vehicles, with different physics, and different weapons.
Until that day comes, his opinion means just as much as yours does to me. (Hint: It's a number often referred to as 'nil').
