WH40k is a ridiculous setting but the ships are even more ridiculous.

Having said that I still hope it turns out to be a good game.

All that glowing shit is pretty horrible but BFG has pretty interesting rules. I hope they don't just make a standard RTS out of it, that would be quite a waste.

Actually the most 'realistic' thing about WH40k is the space battles. Ships are hideously expensive, and engagements happen across distances of thousands of miles.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
OTOH ramming.
Actually, ramming drone ships (ie the kinetic bus : ship with only propellant designed to kamikaze into another one and destroy it through kinetic energy) are theorycrafted to be one of the two realistic space based weapons (the other being laser ship).

That's usually called a missile.
