And it was 100 meters from the hull, so that was pretty much a contact explosion. I can't imagine the saucer not being within the standard atmospheric fireball radius.

But yes. Trek consistancy is a problem. Makes my job more fun. :D

In space, with no atmosphere to transmit the force of the explosion, 100 meters divides damage by 10000.
