You know he's serious when he uses multiple vowels. :P

Seriously, though, he has a point. Perhaps toning it down would be good.

I was just thinking about the capabilities of a seperated saucer section and then it hit me........an anti-matter spread! What the heck is an anti-matter spread? How does it work? What is it's purpose? Seems to me to be little more than a light show to disrupt the Borg sensors to hide the shuttle.......but anti-matter is both powerful and volitile. And has anybody body else ever heard of it being used again?

Yes, an antimatter spread SHOULD result in the quick destruction of both the launching ship and anything else within range. IU, I can only imagine that it refers to an effect derived from using antimatter - perhaps the energy released from a small-scale controlled reaction. OOU, it's the writers tripping themselves on their own technobabble.

In real like it would make one hell of a bang but in the show they treat it like chaf.

::::grumbling::::

That makes less sense as usual for the writers, but I see your point. It's only good a REALLY point black range, and didn't seem to do any damage at all. Quite a useless feature, wouldn't you say?

That much energy bouncing around must pay havoc on sensors. I'm going to agree that the anti-matter spread was most likely a light show under controlled bursts.

Wonder what would have happened if one of those "sparkelers" had accidently hit the shuttle? Would it have destoyed it? Or just "marked" it? :takecover:

The shuttle was running at low power which means no shields. It would have melted.
