Summary0015866: "Operation Horn" ability needs a nerf, too many rams = way too strong, player-summoned Rams need one also
DescriptionThis looks like it mighta been set before I made the pattern for the Rams... it summons 12 of them, which is much more powerful than multiple squadrons of anything else. Too much concentrated power in one ability, particularly when both the Ram's bullet pattern AND it's ramming ability is considered. They're capable of obliterating multiple flagships in just a few turns, while taking little damage themselves, when in such numbers.

In addition, the player-controlled ones could probably do with a heavy nerf in terms of overall damage (for it's ranged attack). That damage level works out well for enemy rams, but the player working together with them when they're that strong will be very OP.

Thanks!

* Operation Horn has had a serious nerf to bring it into the realm of sanity. It now spawns 2 force rams rather than 12, and the power of those rams is now 20% of what the power previously was. These things are beastly.
