Merit of this article

First off, welcome Jzyehoshua. Obviously you've put a lot of effort into this page, and I do appreciate the good faith effort to contribute to the Ultronomicon. However, I'm sorely tempted to delete it because it essentially consists of a strategy guide, which IMO should be trimmed and merged into the walkthrough where most of the strategy guide-like stuff has been grouped. Is this a reasonable action if this is the intent? I'm open to being wrong, but I've never seen the primary purpose of the Ultronomicon as being a strategy guide - I cringe at the strategy sections of the ship articles, but leave them be since (a) I don't super-melee against humans much, and (b) they appear at the end of the article and (usually) don't dominate the article itself. Still, if this is meant to be about the final battle at the Sa-Matra, then it should be first the in-game event and maybe briefly about the strategy. Also if we do this, we should probably trim the section in the Sa-Matra article (where this topic is addressed) to be a summary, with a link here, and we should probably change the name in-line with how we've dealt with other in-game events. Thoughts? --Fyzixfighter 23:25, 12 November 2008 (CET)

I too think this should go in the walkthrough. I'm not sure about trimming the ship-to-ship tactics since I don't think we cover human vs AI matchups elsewhere. Thinking through the possibility of keeping this as an article about the event, there doesn't seem to be enough to warrant a separate article if we're not keeping the strategy stuff here, since the event stuff I think should stay at the Sa-Matra article.

I also cringe at the strategy sections of the ship articles, because they're not all that they should be (yet). --Zeracles 12:26, 13 November 2008 (CET)

The walkthrough makes no mention of how to beat the Sa-Matra. A player who has not finished the VUX-Shofixti-Yehat story arc may end up stumped by the final battle. If this section is deleted then it will be necessary to give the Pkunk Fury a mention on the walkthrough page itself. --Shiver 21:15, 13 November 2008 (CET)

Well, I hope I didn't overstep any bounds, but I moved this page to be a user subpage so if anyone still wants access to it (like the original creator) they can. I've also tried to merge the relevant information into the walkthrough. However, the tactical information is kind of specific to a person's play style - so I left most of that out. If anyone thinks this action isn't appropriate, I'm willing to discuss it more and undo the move if it turns out I was wrong or presumptuous. --Fyzixfighter 22:26, 25 November 2008 (CET)
