So many ships have little horns and pointing bits clearly meant to do piercing dmg.
But does it actually exist or did it ever exist?
Awhile ago I heard a thing called needling where chute vent stomping with a spire caused instant death. The balloon would pop (like full health to popped) and the hull would follow.
And then ground and ram dmg would kill.
But on the contrary, goldfish has a horn but I've never popped a balloon with a balloon ram besides my own (hence I always ram with hull and with those I do pop if I ram direct to balloon with expected dmg to me regardless of whether i ram the needle or the side of balloon of a goldfish)
