My question still stands, wouldn't it be more productive to harness atmospheric bubbles to destroy ships? Instead on beating on ships with conventional weaponry?

The best reason why they can't is because it won't work. My guess is, the violent material is combined to make a metal that won't exploded when it touches air.

Earth. A world outgrown. scared by war and burdend with our advances. A world that is no longer ours. A myth, legend. It could now be thriving, or burned to ash, or even ruled by another race.

Another factor that could possibly contribute is the ways in which the ships are built. Given that our ships are clearly only meant to be used in space it could be easily assumed that the designers simply ignored any principles that would apply within an atmosphere. i.e. principles that architects have to follow when designing buildings today. I'm guessing that a lot of the maths that they use would be very different in space. So then if a ship designed for space suddenly found itself in atmosphere it would just fall to pieces or be crushed.

This is pure speculation however. I am not up to date on my fiction yet and am definitely no architect :)
