It sucks when you can't lead by obs and have to stop your goons periodically to not die to mines, because your obs was too slow to keep up I agree with this, but it may also be for the reason that the obs are in the wrong place to start with. I kow that when I play P, I don't position my obs in front of my army, simply leaving it over the goons. Giving the obs a head start means that the goons don't need to stop. Because I am a lazy lazy player, I just spend the cash for obs speed so I can stomp around with it rightclicked to one of my goons. | ||

I only get speed if I am going carriers and have a little extra gas and I suspect cloaked wraiths. | ||

You want obs speed so you can follow the dropships comfortably and not lose sight of it after two seconds. It would suck if he led you over some turrets, but no big deal. The idea is to generally know where he might try to drop.why would getting obs speed be related to the terran having dropships? | ||

BUT if you would rather get speed I suggest right after you expand; gives you an advantage vs dropships Why not get both? | ||

depends on how much gas you have. no pun intended. i get speed first. range is really good if the person is using a lot of turrets. | ||

i usually get it around the time my nexus at my natural will be warping in on temple when i go goon obs, i think it's very important to have in order to get your 2nd expansion safely and dominate the map | ||

-obs range main reason would probably be to scan a greater part of terran camp when it has already been turreted. | ||

Get speed when he's going heavy harass, range if he's going more turtle style -> post max you should definitely get both in the end. | ||

Though this is a pretty interesting topic and I missed it back then :o Obs speed usually depends on the build, the 150-150 can be invested into a hundred other things. IMO though most of the time people get it too early because slow units piss them off. | ||

You just get shuttles with speed vs dropships... Why u want obs? so u see how terran drops at ur cliff and u die?, way better to have actual defense vs that than just seeing it happen don u think? ^^ | ||
