LOL I cant believe you are so thick. If you would have taken the time to read the compendiums the lore fully explains in the starcraft universe why it works.

:facepalm:

:3 can you explain how it works


ya

all this talk where's the explanation though ???



In the hearts in each and every one of us.

It's not something I have to teach you, merely something you have to unlock within yourself.

so basically you're useless =(

You should make a blog about why they put the pew-pews and the explosions sounds in Star Wars because the sound is a mechanical wave, hence the dogfights should be totally mute.

The description of Mutas in the original sc mentioned that they are capable of travelling through space like that so this does not bother me at all : 3

While everyone's being nerdy, can some1 explain this?

How are banshee drivers not blind when they cloak? To be invisible, all light has to pass through you. This means your eyes don't absorb light, so you obviously can't see. I can maybe understand ghosts, because u just order them around, but how do banshees target other units and operate their planes without sight?

How does cloaking even work?

Light doesn't necessarily have to pass through you, it just has to seem like it passes through you. For example, there is work being done on vehicles where the skin is essentially one giant screen that plays a video of what's on the other side (obviously more complicated than that, but as an example). Therefore, nothing needs to change on the inside of the vehicle, the outside skin takes care of all of it.

Maybe I've not seen this moment yet, but when I've seen mutas "in space", it seemed they were just high in the sky, with the camera moving around them showing the starry sky / another planet.

Its actually a stream of nano-bots (: not magic - far from IRL technology sure, but theoretically that's how nano-tech will work in the future. Also about the Mutalisk flying in space well, they aren't flying, they built up momentum while still in a gravity field. Once they enter the vacuum that momentum is maintained. Thats the scientific explanation if you want one.

Wow if the Zerg still uses anything similar to Behemoths to transport their broods, I imagine the Protoss/Terran would be jumping for joy when they realize they can take out an entire Brood by discovering the timings of their long space-journeys.

cloaking isn't invisibility
look up optical camouflage

Because we move our legs to walk.
And open and close (?) our lungs to breath.

Horrible explanation. We wouldn't move our legs consciously to try and walk in space, either.

The one where the guy said how we move our arms while we walk is a much better to comprehend.

Money was meant solely to be spent.

Actually, you probably would move your legs to try and walk, or gain some kind of foot hold on something if you were in a space suit in space. It's a reaction, just like you move your arms when you fall, it doesn't do anything, but you do it anyway.

Maybe they just feel like flapping their wings?

Why are we so quick to judge their behaviors?

I can just imagine couple mutas floating around.

Some other muta says "dude, why are you flapping your wings in space man, there's no point."

Our muta shrugs, he's like "haters gonna hate." and flaps off on his way.
