Yes, but still the idea of being rammed hadn't been factored in. The droplet was pretty badass though

It was definitely badass, an excellent 'inscrutable monster' type of foe.

I'll say though, the droplet was so far ahead of humanity that it didn't matter what they were prepared for. The droplet could've just as easily been a guided projectile (which it was) and it wouldn't have made a difference.
