A couple of finer posts: SC2 user icons! How to fight reavers in TvP! I'm currently investigating a new method of clearing mines in PvT without obs or singularity charge (using probes!), but I'm using a touchpad so research is slow.:p Cheers TL.net!  Oh, and mods... + Show Spoiler + I want this --> ![[image loading]](http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7144/tmmp.gif) <-- come on...   | ||

but really, it's not special enough to warrant a unique icon. Especially because you've only been here since '09, I think it's very unlikely you will ever get your spidermine | ||

I'll play you if I can find a USB mouse where I am - I left my mini in Boston. I've been pretty busy recently, but I should have some more free time this summer. Also fuck you and your DTs.

+ Show Spoiler + jk It is actually a pretty cool icon but I cannot imagine anyone wanting to make that icon their first choice. | ||

Though really, custom icons aren't just handed out on the fly, got to do something outstandingish to get one. | ||

It's sim-city intended to augment any existing turret placement or anti-air you already have planned. If you look at some of the stronger arrangements (Destination, for example) you'll see that it actually helps form a broad pathing shield for your SCVs, making it easier to move them out of harm and giving you more time to react. And of course, units that you micro behind the sim-city are untouchable. | ||

Because it might be inconvenient to drop on the other side of the factory. There could be a missile turret or something. And congrats on 1000 posts, mmp! | ||

TL is not my daddy. TL is a road stop on the information superhighway where I come to relax and contribute in what is an increasingly personalized community of people that I can relate to based on age, education, and interests - I'd like to think of us as equals not divided by class and privilege. TL can thank me for my time, as it can thank its many other loyal users. | ||

I was hoping someone would see a cute new icon and say, "Hey we could use more cute shit like this," and I would be more than happy to help refit TL's icons (not to mention the numerous other things wrong with this website). But TL is an immobile beast in the tar, stuck on a dying game and dying traditions. Time to sleep now before I offend the mods.  | ||

Half the charm lies in simplicity. | ||

Also, if P wants to break out of an early contain before obs is finished, you might have to clear mines down a ramp (or some other obstruction) or into a collection of mines. Why I'm considering probes: Probes deal 25% of a spider mine's health in damage (goons do 50%), can mess up pathing, and are never targeted by mines. Probes have a ranged attack in any direction with virtually zero warmup, so they can hit fast-moving mines that try to path around them. So 2 probes can "soften up" a mine in case one of your dragoons doesn't fire quickly enough. The only problem so far is that you want to press 'stop' for probes to halt and attack (but you cannot repeat it or you'll delay their attack, 'attack' doesn't work well for this), but you want to press 'hold' for your dragoons simultaneously. You pretty much have to control two close-moving groups in sync, but you can kill mines that you encounter in your path pretty nicely. | ||
