Perhaps the Sa-Matra isn't good for anything except blowing huge amounts of sh*t up.
Maybe the work the Ur-Quan were doing required something as subtle(ha!) as a Dreadnought.

In the end of the war Kzer-za DID USE sa-matra against the alliance.

I don't remember exactly who says it, but the Ur-Quan pulled out the Sa-Matra about when the alliance was down to the Chenjesu and MM (can't spell their name) because the Hierarchy was taking a lot of casualties against them.
On an unrelated note, the Kohr-Ah probably would've done the same thing against the Utwig and Supox if they had ever tried attacking them before the Doctrinal War because the Utwig/Supox are (I imagine) roughly as powerful as the Chenjesu/MM.

I believe you're told the Human flagships were all destroyed by the Sa-Matra.
No one cares, so stfu.

You're saying the Kzer-Za used the Sa-Matra to defeat the Alliance in the end? I don't recall that.. does Commander Hayes tell you about it?
IIRC, it was used against the chenjesu fleet and this is told to you by the chmmr.

Oh, and mstr, you are a total idiot, and don't know what you're talking about.
I'd have to agree with NEMT. "stfu" is something little kids say to each other on games like Counterstrike or Starcraft. If you want to act like that, don't come here at all.

I just don't understand. Where did that come from?

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

IIRC, the Chenjesu tell you about the Sa-matra, saying "It destroyed our ten finest broodhome warships from OUTSIDE OF THEIR WEAPONS RANGE" (emphasis added)
I don't think I need to remind everyone that the broodhome has unlimited weapons range in melee - so this must be a bombardment attack on scale long enough that it doesn't count as melee. Which would explain the asteroid shield - its short range defenses are weaker than those they installed.
(I know, some of you have said things like this - I'm just reiterating)

Who knows how powerful the Sa-Matra is at melee range? When you fight it, it's offline. The fireballs, green bouncers, and the rock barrier were built by the Ur-Quan to prevent it from being sabotaged. There is no way you'd be able to defeat the Sa-Matra if it were being actively used against you. There's no actual proof of this in the game, but I always assumed it to be true.
