I never could get the "center of gravity" thing to work well in game for drops. I always get about half of them spread dropping and half waiting to drop in the clump spot.

Well this box thing doesn't have anything to do with the center of gravity, despite what some people think. To me the center of gravity provides no explanation of why when 2 units exceed a certain distance they clump their spells or if they try and move.

Very good thread. Although when using swarm you don't want a horizontal line of swarm most of the time. So if you have defilers lined up verticaly in the box, they will cast swarm verticaly? I am going to test this out.
A punch is just a punch. Then a punch becomes more than a punch. A punch becomes just a punch again.

Yeah but the box size limits the effectiveness cause the swarms tend to overlap a bit:

Where I clicked once was used to create that effect.

yes that always happens. Atleast in real games T.T

But the difference from doing it on each dship seperately isn't that big, so I do it that way.

hey how about science vessels do the iradiate. can we do that this way? Because if you click the spell to 1 unit then the SV tends to cast spell on only that particular unit. any suggestion ?? thx anyways.
theres fucking nothing i cant handle

Irradiate(and Defensive Matrix) is a spell where you would actually have to click on a certain target in order to make it work.
So the answer is, "No"

I'm sure EMP Shockwave will work nicely though.

Pull the middle one back a little, and move the two on the sides in just a little closer, then cast, and you'll pretty much get a triangle of swarms.

The closer the units are in relation to each other inside the box, the closer the spells will be. So, generally, you want them as far apart as possible while still being inside the box to get the maximum spread for a minimal chance of overlap.
Everyones favorite hick.

Yeah but he wanted to know if it would make a vertical line:

So if you have defilers lined up verticaly in the box, they will cast swarm verticaly?


So I just did that :D
