Ramming Always Works/Quotes

Narrator: This is silly because technically you can ram at any speed. It would make more sense to announce an actual speed, using units of measure, appropriate to the amount of damage you wish to inflict. Shouting "Ramming speed!" only serves to alert everyone on deck to the impending event, allowing them to assume crash positions or otherwise brace for impact. This of course renders the next mandatory shouted command redundant at best.

—YouTube commenter on the Macross Attack
