Re: Unintentional slam suicide
Slamming has a lot of broken aspects. There are a couple of threads on this topic. (Compare google or other keywords.)

One of the easier fix for slam suicide is to limit the damage based on the smaller of the two opponents. Spaceships has a rule that the larger damage cannot be more than twice the smaller one, me thinks. Regards Ts |

Re: Unintentional slam suicide
Because neither the wall nor the monolith is contributing anything to the kinetic energy in this situation?

Re: Unintentional slam suicide
The kinetic energy of the situation is only the combined velocity of the collision. There is no significant difference between a head-on collision of two cars going at 30mph each or crashing into a parked car at 60mph. There is no extra "contribution" made by the mass of the moving car than by the mass of the parked car.

Re: Unintentional slam suicide
I thought it was more important to try and point out that crashing into a 100 ton parked car should be no more damaging than a 1 ton car but if you want to focus on the opposite have fun.

If you are very, very small. You won't survive the damage from either one. On the other hand, if you are the size and durability of a 1 ton car, crashing into a 1 ton car will be much more survivable than crashing into the 100 ton car. |
