RE: UN ships online eh?

Well it is an anti matter missile, so a hit which destroys the missile
would
probably still result in the anti-matter detonating as its containment
field
fails and it slams into normal matter (OK, this is stretching my slender
grasp on physiscs waypast breaking point), so rather than a big
controlled
explosion, you get a smaller not so well controlled explosion.

Maybe.

Re: AMTs -- why do successful hits on the missile reduce its blast
radius
/ damage, instead of simply destroying the missile?  If it's a physical
missile (as opposed to, say, the Plasma Bolt), either it detonates or
it's
destroyed and doesn't, right?

Cheers,
