Reply #102: I did not know that.

from watching a few episodes of the show, I didn't really get a "we are serious" vibe from the whole thing, more of a "we are young adults out to be activists" feel.

Anyhow, I would think that you could do some serious damage ramming a ship full on, even if they are 4 times your size. You just have to not care about the cost or consequences. And if you take a ship out, they either have to fix it or replace it. Whereas chase and bomb only works for so long as they can track and stay with the ship, only in the section of the ocean they are patrolling as "australian waters" and only so long as it takes to "clean" the ship.
