Research based article?

  • I suggest trimming the article. Saying that the Artemis D.H. is only different from the standard Artemis in its appearance (=and not its strength) can be verified by anyone who knows the rough basics of FS tabling. That's not an assumption. Saying that the Hecate's hitpoints were lowered to make two missions harder will always be an assumption unless a [V] staffer comes along and says: "Yes!

Same goes for discussing the Iceni's weaponry: You can point out that its tech description says that it's armed with x, y, and z; however, in Endgame, it's armed with x1, y1, z2. That can be verified, so it's a fact.
