100% back for cancelling an upgrade 75% back for losing a building that is upgrading - 75% back on the upgrade price I mean | ||

You get back 100% of the value of the unit making if you lose a building making a unit, however. Edit: That's really weird with the upgrades... I even checked it myself since I found it hard to believe  . I did all my testing with Toss, except for the extractor trick of course... | ||

Good thing I asked this question, because even a gosu (if that's id.Twisted above) wasn't sure whether it's %33 or 25% penalty. Okay, so 100% back for units. Side question: If your warping cannon vanishes from an attack, do you get anything back? The animation looks like it's been cancelled, rather than destroyed...ie. no debris. | ||

probably because it would be easier to fake tech, manner pylon, gas rush, and stuff the penalty would be even smaller if they decided against it (time mostly instead of losing cash too) | ||

hmm. i see vods and i see announcers saying in korean that they should cancel the building but when it dies they make a big deal out of it. why is that? is it because you lose a drone if you die as a building for zerg? what do you get back if your building is building but is destroyed. | ||

No, it's cos if you're making a hatch and it's destroyed then you lose the hatch and you DON'T get your money back. Always cancel buildings. Sometimes players will choose to cancel thier buildings really late to force the opponent to attack them for ages, buying time. This is even more effective ZvP islands where protoss hits a morphing hatch with reavers cos it actually costs protoss 15 minerals per scarab. So if you can hold on and cancel the hatch after 5 hits, you are actually being cost-effective... Weird, no? Well, probably not in the long run as you will undoubtably lose your drone too, but still. I've seen pros do this in VODs, it is most frustrating for toss cos you know they're buying time to prepare for something else =] | ||

The last thread this was on was about 1 week before and I did do a little test which required about 3-5 minutes of my precious time. One question to the people around here. How come you are willing to read 10 minutes worth of discussion between uninformed babbling retards instead of just doing a little test on Dire Straits yourself ? Are you supposed to be working right now and don't have StarCraft installed on your machine ? | ||

Actually I didn't know you got your money back on upgrades and queued units, shame on me :p You don't get money back on queued scarabs though (nor on queued interceptors). | ||

No, you don't get any money back on building scarabs or interceptors. edit : I tested cancelling lurker / guardian / devourer forms. You get 100% money back on those. | ||

You have a reaver, with a scarab building on it. The reaver gets killed before the scarab is completed. How much do you get back from the price of the scarab? 2. You have a reaver, with a scarab building on it. You cancel the scarab. How much do you get back from the price of the scarab? Probably it's zero for both, as far as i understand, just wanted to understand it right. | ||

?? otherwise why would you do it and yes you get 0 back when the reaver is building it and dies | ||
