The scout has sight upgrades and speed upgrades. It was the "cheap" air unit before BW (corsairs) if you're going stargate instead of robo+obs. It doesn't deal very much ground damage. Sounds like it fits the definition of scout to me.

This sort of thing will be easy to do in the sc2 editor. I know I plan on making a carrier with a personal cloaking field that has archons in place of the interceptors. That will be so bad ass.

scouts would be awesome with better ground attack

personally, i dont see anything wrong with wraiths lazering it up, but scouts shooting bullets is kind of awkward

I always thought the scout had a shotgun like ground attack. It would've been supported if they had splash, but oh well. Scouts are actually pretty good against air, especially big units.

In Desert Storm, when Toss goes Stargates mass and T goes Physics Lab mass, it's just rape... I think. IIRC, toss wins in that.

Well, first of all, the build is completely useless unless you go 2 stargate, (and usually have to go 12 nexus - > 1 gate). And also, you need to be really lucky and face the worst players of all time. If you can get scouts in time, you should be able to stop the 2 fact (unless they have goliaths/a ridiculous amount of marines).

Well besides the scout having lame blue bullets, I don't like how Blizzard made 3 of the protoss projectiles look the same (arb, goon, cannon). I mean, at least BC shoots bigger lasers than wraiths. Arbiter should have more badass attacks (hehe sorry terrans) and scouts should fire colossus (sc2) - like lasers for both air and ground... totally cool.

scouts need to be abit cheaper, thats all. they are a good unit and could be useful if they didnt cost almost as much as a carrier.

Wraiths should be cheaper, or at least come with free cloak.

Yeah, I think if the scout could shoot a single attack for both air and ground (kinda like the muta i guess) that did a fair amount of damage (maybe 15) without splash, it would be seen a lot more in games and maybe even be used as a TR to carriers.

yeah..
protoss pretty much doesn't have a single laser attack lol (i guess interceptors sort of count)
it's all just blue energy stuff

also clearly i play too much hon now.. since i was thinking of the sand wraith and scout heroes after reading the title >.<


same here...effing gay scout...most annoying hero ever, along with arachna.

Oh jesus christ.

I just pictured... critical mass SC1 carriers....flying over a shitton of goliaths and turrets supported by tanks and vultures... mines scattered everywhere.

Our young Terran hero starts to micro those goliaths towards the carriers...until GIANT BLUE THINGS FLY OUT OF THEM AND ZAP EM TO SHIT!

Bwhaha!

Honestly, what's the point of making a unit called a "scout" when there is a faster air unit that can be produced for cheaper, and it's sight range isn't any more impressive either.....

If the Scout came with the speed and sight upgrade, I could see it being used a lot more. But that won't happen.....
