With things antimatter, the effect depends on the amount used. For all we know each of those little balls of light had like a microgram of antimatter in it.

I tend to think it's the 24th century equivalent of doing this :

Do we know if the Nebula is capable of saucer separation?
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

We just went through this somewhere around here. Even if it wer capable, why would a Nebula separate? The GCS has a lot of extra structure to make a functional ship even without the saucer. The Nevula doesn't - you'd end up with engines and two people.

So you brought the toaster but not the bread that was next to the toaster? Are you a trek writer or something?

I think we're all forgetting that the ship's only bathroom is now floating away with the saucer section...

Would be rather embarassing if the wall to the bathroom was along the split between the two hulls.

I'd imagine that that'd be the least of your worries at that point. :P

Right but in case of a warp core breach?

Naa, if I was a Trek writer, I would have introduced to the weapons system, a "Deep Space Flame Thrower" and just ignore the lack of oxygen. Or our new sonic dampening device to protect our ship from them pesky deep space sound waves.

Forgetting the bread is a little more beliveable :mrgreen:
