I'm not sure you understand, your idea is like throwing shards of metal against a ship 300+ years old that can travel to the ends of the galaxy.

i understand all rite.

you not geting the idea. i did not say what the shrapnal was made of.
it cood be made of small anti mater bomns. or some uther espolive elimant.

the only resone i am saying this is for an exspample only.

the way a pipe bomin is made is it filled with an exploive elament note saying what the elament is. and filled with nales screws and uther small metal obejcts. so win it exspoles it sinds those objects shooting off in difrant derections.
if you made a torpedo with smaler exspoleive in it so win it exspoleds it will thowe tham at eny thing neer bye. cosing more damge.

Wouldn't one large anti-matter bomb be more useful then a couple thousand soda canned sized ones?

I appreciate that the FO team is trying to make this game as "realistic" as possible. Let's not introduce any silly crap just for the fun of it. I get the feeling that their workload is massive anyway, judging by how long version 3 has been under development.

Anyway it sounds like your idea, emw90, is just a weakened version of the Defiant antimatter mines from Armada 2, which made no sense anyway. Why would something the same size as a photon torpedo be so much more massively powerful? Makes no sense at all.
