We could go like this until tomorrow. Why can`t marines stim while inside of bunker. Most of illogical things are, of course, because of balance issues. | ||

Why can`t marines stim while inside of bunker. Most of illogical things are, of course, because of balance issues. Obv. because there's no radio contact inside the bunker. You have to give them the order before they enter the bunker, then they'll be stimmed inside. When they come out of the Bunker, it's either cause they're scared it's about to get overwhelmed, or because someone from the big army came a knocking telling them to join the good fight. | ||

You know you can repair enemy wraith right? You have some damaged enemy wraith shooting you and you go mad and hit R to repair the wraith. That's all fine and dandy the wraith gain health. Now you try to attack the wraith and it gets "unable to target unit" How could you both reach the wraith and not reacht he wraith! O noes! :D | ||

So the damage/second has to match the scv's repair/second. Which is pretty insane. Once you reached the critical damage the bunker will be broken and since scvs no longer heals the marine all the marines will be exposed to extreme dmg and therefore they pop like bugs. xD | ||

of course someone could exploit this and have like 1 medic inside bunker and keeps switching unit in and out and micro them so that the bunker lasts longer and kill more enemies. | ||

Cheese rushes would be easy as hell - just stick in four marines, lift, and move to zerg base and slaughter them while the Zerglings cry on the ground. | ||

The repair air units but can't attack them is actually a good argument. You should have to make them land first! | ||

In the bunkers they have no space to move at all, just look how tiny the bunker is, he's like half the marine height, they probably have troubles shooting and you want them to stim? They defend your base, do suicide drop attacks and you want to make life even harder for them... wtf are you? They have rights, too, you know! Don't abuse the marines! | ||

O noes! :D In 99 after 1 night talking with some friends about the problem, we reached the following conclusion: When you order them to repair the scv sends a message to the wraith telling him to lower his altitude just above the scv, allowing the scv to reach the wraith and repair him. Otherwise the wraith stays at higher altitude where the scv cannot reach. | ||

As for my own question, how the hell is it that in the cutscenes, Battlecruisers are mammoth battleships but in the game, they're barely bigger than siege tanks? HUH? | ||

Why doesn't plauge kill stuff How come the medics can only heal as long as they have energy? Why do so many starcraft players start playing poker? Why is warcraft 3 so slow? How come bcs cant shoot little planes out of their docks? Why don't carriers have a gun of their own? How many questions can i make? How do the Colts manage to turn the ball over so much? How do the Bears manage to give it right back to them? How come we haven't been graced with anything besides an expansion in 10 years? | ||

WTF why cant marines shoot a particular target while in bunker, thus allowing yellow-style pimpest play with overlord saving the hatchery. | ||

If you put a marine and a medic in a bunker and empty it five minutes later, they come out with four little marines. No joke. | ||
