I wonder if a successful hit could have triggered panic zig-zags in the ships, leading to lots of collisions? |
No, the ships magically know where they are in relation to one another. Additionally, ship collision is rather difficult the way they have the engine setup. Huge ships can stop on a dime and reverse course rather easily. It looks like they bent the laws of physics to address ships constantly crashing into on another whether there's fog or not.
