Ramming speed - worst ability? Fix suggestions.

Ramming speed just doesn't work the way it should.
there are doffs that remove all damage you take from ramming, but ramming speed is still just an odd ability.
you can't activate it at above 50% hull, when surely the best time to use it in a ship that constantly regenerates hull is immediately. let's compare it to world of warships, for the sake of another game that has ramming in it. if you're in a battleship and you manage to ram a destroyer, he's screwed. right now i can basically fly into a cruiser and the most i'm going to do to him is with the bajoran engines scraping... in a giant ship.
the ability "diverts all power to engines" but it diverts more than the power cap of your engines, which doesn't really make much sense.

Suggestion:
add doff/change current doff to enable ramming speed at 100% hull, removing the speed bonus and power disadvantage.
alternatively, just apply that change to the ability globally, and have people running builds with ramming speed as their primary weapon.
