Despite the spoiler warnings, I'd like to be utterly spoiled on the subject. In the episode, tricobalt weapons reputedly make an appearance again, this time fired by the natives. Do they appear before or after the antimatter missiles? Are they presented as advanced or primitive weapons? What do they look like? Any data on them at all?
Should this perhaps be crossposted to "starships&other tech"?

They appear after the anti-matter weapons were fired, to my recolection... I should watch the ep again to make sure, but I'm 89% sure on that (that leave 11% for error)

Voyager is hit with one tri-cobalt which is the last weapon they are hit with. After which two ships show up and tow them out of the planets field. You never see the missles because they are moving to fast.

Why did the natives attack voyager anyway?

Why does anyone ever attack anything? A mixture of fear, local religious/scientific trends, and sheer "because we can", I'd imagine.

I think that the natives attacked Voyager because they had never responded after centuries of attempting to contact them. This angered the natives, so they decided to see if they could blow it up.
The Tri-Cobalt Device came after the anti-matter missile barragee. It took out the last 17% of their shields.

Not to mention the fact that who knows how many probes had been sent up to the skyship and never heard from again. This could certainly be seen as a hostile act, depending upon whomever was in charge of the attack.

That would be a great phylosophy for a society to run on- "If it doesn't talk to us, blow it up."

so how did the episode end?

Everyone seems to be forgetting that Voyager's presence in orbit had been causing tremors on the planet for centuries on end.
The natives knew the cause of the tremors... now, they could blow up the cause of the tremors. Wouldn't you? Heheh...
Paris: What do you mean "would be"? I thought that was how most Earth societies tended to be run... *ironic smile*
