Not only that, but it would appear that battlebug lost its antimatter containment first: So what caused that damage was not the collision impact itself, it was essentially a massive antimatter bomb going off next to the hull.

Eventually, yes. But the Odyssey managed to last several minutes at least without shields and was eventually destroyed by a kamikaze run (and nobody up until that point indicated she was in immediate danger of destruction, despite the heavy damage), and I believe Defiant had several battles...

Because apparently humans are special and will surpass the Q. Someday. Somehow. So basically New Age BS.

Torpedoes do glow however, which suggests something unusual about them. Emitter system does not move at all. It is fixed in place. Only the beam moves around, in a manner similar to those of electronically scanned radar arrays (though physics principles would obviously be different, as phasers...

Something similar already exists. Personal shields are in fact mentioned several times, but we never actually see them, except for the makeshift one Worf uses when holodeck goes crazy.

1) Well, a battlefleet needs three main things: Battleship / heavy combatant Cruiser / main combatant Destroyer / escort Considering we are talking about a warfleet, I think the best example (albeit accounting for technological difference) would be the new builds which appear after the Wolf...

Except it doesn't prove what you are saying. It was a torpedo fired by Voyager and detonated by Voyager. Fact that it was fired by Voyager meant that they would have known torpedo's shield frequency, since it has to be matched to the ship in order to pass through the shields in the first place...

1) Even if Voyager did shoot down your standard torpedo (I couldn't find that one), that is what, one incident out of a thousand? 2) I don't remember modifications mentioning adding shields - only modifications to the guidance program are mentioned. We have also had torpedoes smack into planet...

Anti-missile point defense weapons are, in prime Star Trek, never used by anyone. In fact, they are quite useless: starships already can shoot down swarms of missiles with their primary phasers, yet never do so against torpedoes. Meanwhile we know that torpedoes are shielded with shields...

Problem is that Akira class doesn't have a flight-through deck, instead it has around 15 torpedo tubes and what looks to be a normal shuttlebay (but could be much larger on the inside): https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/d/d3/Akira_class_ILM_CGI_model.jpg Besides, if you...
