and what was the speed of that asteroid and the composition?????
btw ST doesn't handle coalision that good either. looking at picard ramming the scimitar. yet we see a SSD collide with the deathstar and the damage is minimal.
Asteroids composition should, HOPEFULLY, be less dense than that of a supposedly ARMOR PLATED CAPITAL SHIP.
As for the Ent-E ramming Scimitar - it was a smaller ship that had NO SHIELDS ramming a much larger target. With the asteroid, it was a much SMALLER object ramming a much LARGER one. Thus, you'd think the SD would at least survive... but nope.
