Would it be cool if the "neck" of the antenna broke under the explosion and the "head" or the dish would break off and fall to the ground?
I was thinkin about something like that to be honest, always liked the idea of the shield generator being deactivated, not blown up! Even a small explosion would be gd, maybe the dish could have lights that switch off or a faint laser that represents the shield shuttin down or something along those lines.
