SCV's In Bunkers

I've always enjoyed the fact that you can load SCV's inside of bunkers. But how come they cant repair inside of the bunkers? It seems like you could put 1 scv inside a bunker, and 3 rines or something. Then the scv could repair while your rines deal damage. Why not have the option to trade more health for damage?

I swear I've seen someone repair a bunker from the inside before, in my own base. I'm not sure if it has been fixed though.

Is it not good enough that you can have a ton of workers repairing a bunker as it is? They don't really need to be self-regenerating with no risk of losing the repairing unit.

It would be QUITE imbalanced I assure you.

It is not possible.

Imagine 2 rines or 3 rines with an all-star repairing scv that's untouchable in the early-mid game..

definitely a game-changer

I think at one point if you told an SCV to auto-repair and then put it in a bunker it would repair from inside. Not sure if that was eventually changed or not, or if it works with a PF.

It would be incredibly broken (even from a terran's viewpoint). Getting the +2 bunker capacity upgrade then loading 4 marines and 2 SCVs into a bunker means you will be investing a shitload of resources into breaking that position. Even 2 SCVs + 2 marines would be an impressive target to penetrate, let alone when upgraded with +2 building armor.

Opponents would have to wait until they could outrange it to beat it, nothing a couple vikings can't stop.
