You still only take excess damage that way, and propably a small
perscentage of excess damage would be removed too, as energy going into
the breaking of the ram.
Propably you could build a break off ram that is mounted on a solid ram.
On top of my head the only potential problems i can see with that would be
weight and hydrodynamics.
No idea how to model it in the rules, but for a cinematic vehicle at
least, propably you could make a break off ram, that breaks off in 2
steps, the first break leaving it conntected with a fexible part, pushing
the 2 ships apart. (Propably that is the shock absorber you have
mentioned).
Perhaps the rules for reusable vs. use-once shock absorbers could come
into play (or be used as guidelines) p. Vxii 18
