Anti-Matter-Tank (IT, weap 12 - bio 7)

I do love to play IT but never in all those games I could convince myself to use the anti-matter-tank.

Perhaps, perhaps in a really huge universe with sparse stars and everybody is restricted to 1 planet... but even then the combination of fuel tank (instead of the anti-matter) and building sfx would be cheaper and better. The sfx produces 200mg, helps repairing, comes with 2250mg fuel and researching bio 7 to get the anti-matter is a definite no no. The weight of the anti-matter-tank is another problem.

Anybody ever used the anti-matter-tank and thought it a superiour solution?

Probably the main problem of the anti-matter-tank: of all PRTs it has to be an IT-gadget, the PRT with the least fuel problems... the latter a bold statement because often enough my IT has the biggest number of sfx deployed but that's another story... had to look it up: in my last game I had 149 sfx busily channelling fuel to and fro between fleets at year 2459 (while not only playing IT but having also IFE/fuel mizer and ISB/docks).

IF the anti-matter-tank would be available for ITs right at the start like the settler's delight engine for HEs or the transport cloak for super-stealth... that might give it some early usage.
