http://us.media.blizzard.com/sc2/media/artwork/unit_terran_liberator01-large.jpg This image is datedas added on mid-2010, when the beta was on, quite weird since it is a very old concept art for the Banshee , but it's named differently. Might the liberator be some old cousin of the Banshee, conidering how recycle-friendly devs are? Would the Devs be so lazy? How could Liberators really look? | ||

I'd say it was at least artwork they considered, and i'd consider it likely that they based the actual unit off of it. How close or far from that image the unit will actually be remains to be seen. I STILL WANT MY INVITE =( | ||

Though Blizzard has been known to reuse design ideas (Disruptor, Widow Mine, Oracle, Adept) So it's possible that they used an older design version of the banshee model for the Liberator. | ||

Yeah, that's true that they recycle concepts a ton. | ||

Oh, right. I should get better at right clicking and "search google for image"ing before posting. I change my opinion. I'd be shocked if the liberator enters the game looking so similar to the banshee. | ||

Now I don't care much for the actual unit proposal but I'm all for saving manhours and recycling stuff. It happens with code all the time, you just don't see it. They need their time on lotv to be efficient and to get as much done as possible in the time that they have as Blizzard is notorious for having to shelve ideas due to time constraints (anyone who played the vanilla WoW beta can attest to this as well as anyone in the sc2 community since the start). | ||
