Impact bumpers is a terrible tool for ramming. If you engage it too early you lose a lot of the strength of your impact, and you run the risk of losing your gun arcs and pointing in the wrong direction entirely. If you keep moonshine on while ramming, you don't have to worry about losing your gun arcs.
Not to mention that if you're worried about the damage you're going to take from a ram, you shouldn't be going for said ram in the first place.

I've taken impact bumpers as a defensive measure a few times when I'm going up against a ram happy opponent and I'm flying something a little bit more squishy like a goldfish.

Though I can't deny its raw power I find moonshine a bit restricting mostly due to the engine damage it incurs. Though I concede if I spent more time with it I'd probably develop better coping strategies.

And may I compliment you on your excellent timing in its use.

It's all about applying it in bursts. You get a similar overall speed boost to kerosene, plus the other benefits (vastly improved acceleration, stabilization). Of course, it's also better for me because I ram a lot. Piloting style is a factor in the choice between the two items.

Yeah, it's an excellent defensive tool against ramming pilots. It's just a bad choice when you're ramming offensively.
