Wouldn't antimatter look and behave "normally" (like matter does in our normal universe) in an 'anti' universe (ie: one that was made of more antimatter than matter, the reverse of ours). But again, being as light is also it's own anti-particle, you would not need anything special to see antimatter... as light would react with it as if it was matter. Surely?

Cheers... so it does work? I was perhaps being a bit rough with it, but I'm sure I should've got some activity from it. I will try again with a gentler touch later with a more planned rendezvous rather than reattaching to a decoupled part hurling away from me. If it works I'll post screenshots and a response. Can you confirm that all you need to do is 'touch' the claw onto a surface for it to engage/dock, as long as the claw is deployed? There is no further action required, except gentleness? I assume because there is no magnetic attraction, like docking ports it acts differently and doesn't 'suck' you in if you're slightly off.

I had a little play around with the claw last night. I was only playing briefly, but I launched a standard ship into circular orbit in preparation for an incoming asteroid and to do some tests. I had plenty of fuel left, so decided to decouple the high altitude stage and then turn around and grab it with the claw. I deployed it so the little grabby hand came out and then proceeded to try and grab the fuel tanks. It was essentially one of the new 2x enginge NASA booster and a big orange tank. I tried at multiple points on it. The discarded tanks were classed as debris, so I thought it could be an interesting tool to deorbit anything that I leave in space after a launch and tidy up. It appeared that the claw didn't grab onto it or act anything like a docking port. I aimed for several parts, but got the same results. Aside from deploying it, is there any other action required? Should it just engage on an object by just touching it with a deployed arm? Does it just grab Kerbals and Asteroids?
