Why not blow the RELIANT up?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] We have seen a starship blow up via matter and antimatter mixing. The [i]Enterprise[/i]-D suffered a warp core breach near a planet. The only detrimental effects I saw were that the explosion damaged the saucer's propulsion system and pitched it into a collision course with the planet's surface. I kind of doubt that the [i]Enterprise[/i]-nil ejected any antimatter pods prior to destruction. After the big boom, the ship falls away and enters the planet's atmosphere. Don't we get a pretty clear view of the underside of the secondary hull? If someone has the movie handy, we can check and see 1) if the underside is visible and 2) if there is a hole where it looks like a hull plate blew off and allowed the pods to eject. Jeff and Lee: you both bring up interesting points. Kruge's ship did deal a pretty good blow to the [i]Enterprise[/i]'s computer systems. The destruct signal may have not been able to reach those ordinance packages. But I think that it is more reasonable that that the ship may not have had a vast supply of antimatter onboard. She was being decommissioned and was probably in the process of being stripped of the good parts. Plus, Scotty may that statement that he wasn't planning on Kirk taking them into battle. The shields were useless they opted for photon torpedoes instead of phasers (the latter being dependent on warp energy). [/QB][/QUOTE]
