Remember that the original Titans were much bigger than the player-created Titans of the current age.

I'd note that unless I've missed something, no-one knows exactly what happened there. It is theorised that the Amarr DD was used, however it could have been multiple strikes from DD's, not just a single strike also.

For the person talking about 1kg of antimatter blowing chunks out of the earth. The largest Nukes put out more energy than 1kg of Antimatter. Stop getting distracted by all the bad movies where 1g of it destroys entire planets to dust, it's powerful sure, but not 'that' powerful.


Numbers:

U235 generates 82.07 TJ/kg <--converted from mol to kg

antimatter distruction generates 180 petajoules/kg

Refer to that. See the actual numbers. There are a lot of other similar websites out there. So far the largest bomb physically tested was about 1.5kg of antimatter equivalent, and had a potential yield of about 3kg's of antimatter.
