Marc, I'm talking in an RP sense, it's not the 23rd century RP time, and only a HANDFUL of navies even have sizable anti matter generation capabilities, much less able to use it. only the ones that have been here over a year have any good production of it, or even use it(eg prometheus, and other navies like it)

also, your navy has only been in RP for a WEEK, they are as clueless as any new navy, they wouldn't have any anti-matter production, much less tech that can blow up a 2km flying ship in mere minites.

also, sure the star trek stuff would work, but you forgot to take RP into factoring your tech abilities. Even UAC has no anti-matter, and they have been around for 10x as long as star fleet, although UAC never prioritied it, it would still take them a long time to even research, minimum a month. They may have had a good anti ship weapon when they started, but you ALSO have to remember UAC was originally part of AIF at one time, and AIF prioritized ship building over tech research, so they set AIF's vast network to design the weapon, and research it. Star fleet is getting it's tech from no where, because none of it's nearby navies(namely USNF), have none of the tech said.
