Sorry Oerjan, that I happened to be wrong for taking the concept looking at it and then for asking a question about the idea, I won't make that mistake again here.
I will admit looked at the UN antimatter Torp as a simplied NOVA SALVO (or Antimatter Salvo missile as WOW1) missile, the reasoning the size came down was lack of range, and the lack of a secondary "fuel" for movement. That also limited the warhead to 3 bands that are knocked down by PDS hits on 6 only which was how I took the reading of the WOW discussion to have worked.
So then let me ask, why this Weapon was then given only 18mu range only (well with 3mu in burst). I do know that the HM has a range of 20 and the Narn Energy mine with 6mu burst had range of 20 mu.
And from the idea of mounting these on Longer Range HM, I no longer see an issue
I do have 1 follow up question. If U fire 2 or more of these AMT at the same target or end up near same traget also being hit by normal missiles. Does the burst of 1 AMT kill the other Missiles and Torps. Much like how the rule says any fighter in the blast range are destroyed.
DOCAGREN
Just a Lurker here on the Digest, But maybe I have a good idea or 2.. :-)
Or a few questions, that need answering

Er - no, it didn't. If it had, the AMT wouldn't've had the "reduce damage
by 1 die per mu of distance" complication but would instead have been a
"same number of dice throughout the entire area of effect" just like the
Nova Salvo Missiles and Plasma Bolts.
The UNSC's AMT is a cross between the Heavy Missile and the EFSB Narn
Energy Mine, and thus a cousin to both the Plasma Bolt and its derivative
the Nova Salvo Missile.

*Then* you get the UNSC's AMT...
