You can't really accurately model anti-matter ships and matter ships in SE4. It does not have the complexity necessary to do so. You would have to make weapons do varying damage based on the target type, which you can not do. None of the various armor abilities would be very accurate either. And, using any of them would conflict with their use on "normal" components.

The problem is that a DUC should have major effects on an anti-matter ship (though not destroyed in one hit or anything), and relatively minor effect (what it has now) on a matter ship. APBs should be the opposite, lots of damage to matter ships, less to anti-matter ships. There is not really a good way to do this.
