"Impenetrable" is always a debate-able term; everything seems impenetrable, until you apply enough energy to the problem.
Like Nick Locarno said, he wasn't expecting somebody to scarifice a entire massive BattleShip by chucking it at the shield.
Remember in ST:PIC S3, both sides threw massive objects at each other.
Captain Vadic threw a small starship at the USS Titan.
Riker threw a small asteriod at Vadic's ship.
For me it was Shannon Fill, she sounded really forced. But it's understandable, it's been many years since she's played this role and everybody's much older.
I'm surprised they couldn't get the actress who played Jean Hajar, or they seemingly didn't bother to.
I like the bridge of a Steamrunner-class starship. I also got a big kick out the references to Nick looking just like Tom Paris and tying Mariner into the events preceding "The First Duty(TNG)" in 2368.
I mean, it's Nick Locarno and played by the same actor who portrayed Tom Paris. I can't think of more apt final words from the man who got Joshua Albert killed and almost ruined Wesley Crusher's life and career.
I dunno. I liked Boimler doing just fine as Acting Captain, but much about the whole Locarno plot left me cold:
1. Come on—he was over-aggressive, but he was never an outright deluded villain as he is here. And where did he get the ship and its technology from, and find the resources to set this whole thing up?
2. Though some will disagree: Given how the beam transports a target’s crew but apparently leaves hull fragments behind — we saw them! — that exactly matches the only evidence we ever got of what happened to Sito, and I admit I’m very disappointed this episode didn’t retroactively change the ending of the original “Lower Decks”.
3. Starfleet has an official Ship Transfer Protocol??
I didn't have issues recognizing anyone else from their VOY days on Prodigy for example when they did their voice-overs.
But R.D.N definitely sounds completely different to me for some reason.

I've noticed that when a lot of the live action actors voice their characters for LD a lot of them tend to over-stylize the affect. It seemed to me that's what RDM was doing. Frakes did it back in S1 too.
The show was only renewed in March, which means they wrote this ending with Tendi leaving without even knowing if they'd have a next season.
Unless this was one of those renewals that was done a while back but only officially announced later.
The Steamrunner was named USS Passaro. Quite possibly named after the late Fabio Passaro, who did a lot of the CG models for Eaglemoss, including a new more detailed Steamrunner model. Though that's not the model they used here in Lower Dekcs.
There's also a Gagarin-Class USS Passaro named after him in Picard Season 3.

That's something for side stories in other media like Comics to cover.
Nick Locarno had 13 years to get to where he was at, at the start of the episodes.
ALOT can happen in 13 years.

It seems to transport the ship as well, since all the missing ships showed up as part of "NOVA FLEET".
They must've left behind some hull fragments to fool those who would come to inspect the remnants.
