 ...1. If I mind control an scv or a drone, does my supply cap still stay at 200? 2. If I mind control any unit like a Battlecruiser (that has yamato and maybe some attack upgrades) do I get the upgrades and tech as well? (so I don't have to make the terran tech structures?) 3. If I mind control any unit like a tank or ultralisk can I load them into my shuttle? 4. If I mind control an scv or a drone and if I make a command center or hatchery, can I make my probes mine the minerals and return it to the cc/hatch? 5. If I make a refinery or an extractor (after mind control) can I make my probes get gas from them? (and return it to the cc/hatch?) ThX... | ||

The damage upgrade allows scarabs to kill SCVs caught within the 50% damage splash radius, making any successful scarab shots in the mineral line much more lethal. However, shuttle speed is just more versatile as an early harassment amplifier, especially against pro-gamer reaction time which makes any reaver harass somewhat unreliable. Other than that, the scarab damage upgrade is generally only ever seen in late-game PvZ, which there's no timing for. Of course, you could play around with it in your own games if you want.

I want to clarify a few of the answers given in the previous post. 2. Mind control would transfer qualitative upgrades such as yamato cannon, energy upgrades, speed upgrades, range, and so on, but not numerical upgrades to attack and armor. See  Upgrades. Those qualitative upgrades that transfer will apply to all of your units as if you had researched them yourself. If you mind controlled a fully upgraded battlecruiser, it would lose its attack and armor upgrades, but still have yamato cannon researched. Of course, you would still need all the tech buildings required if you wanted to construct a certain unit, as mind control doesn't unlock tech tree requirements.5. Yes, and somewhat interestingly, the gas that is returned from another race's building will retain that race's gas graphic. For examples, probes gathering gas from a Zerg extractor will be shown carrying the little Zerg gas globules, and drones returning gas from an assimilator will be carrying the Protoss gas crates.

Moletrap and Dejavu claim that it does, but Firebathero damaged a sunken to 80hp and he still had to use a marine to shoot it down once it morphed. No it doesn't die, it does go down to 1 HP though. | ||

right now when I see 2hatch i go 1 rax -> acad -> rax with fast comsat (because, if i manage a scv scout, 50% of the time they would change tech anyway); i have about 1 group of mnm when i drop my first scan. is it enough to move out and attempt to delay/contain? most of the time they try their hardest to move around and counter, sometimes they'll have hydras already out on the map, other times they're going for drop. OTH i don't find getting contained a better perspective if I stay in my base... | ||

It is basically grouping your dropships or shuttles together and clicking unload at the centre point of all your shuttles. If you are playing on bnet however, there is a delay so it might not work very well. | ||

Are you referring to every single Stork PvZ in existence?  The game that pop up in my mind was Stork vs Yarnc in I believe the OSL tie-breakers a while back. But I'm pretty sure it has happened a lot of times, as Stork's observer usage in PvZ is quite crappy. | ||

I want to know how long I'm going to be in withdrawl for Seems like no one knows the answer on that question right now. If they decide to at least finish this MSL,then it should be the next event. | ||

I know there was one where July had a peak 818, only average 410 though. I heard and seen that Bisu and Hero are pretty fast, but have no specific info about them. | ||
