Huge defense bonus against marines zealots and zerglings, The bunker capacity upgrade seems kind of gimmicky i could only see it being used during a bunker push, but for defense may's well just throw down another bunker and salvage it. Hi-Sec auto tracking good against mutas, but I think armor is more important. Lets your scv'sg et more of a chance to turret repair. | ||

I don't think so at least - I know that SCVs can repair other units loaded into the same vehicle as them, but the vehicle itself? Nope...just tried it. The SCVs cower in the bunker like chickens, but don't repair until you unload them. Oh well. | ||

I don't budget my moneys enough to get it in a normal game though. lolz, same here I got hi-sec auto tracking vs a toss once and then went raven to be able to push against DTs, then got more ravens out because he massed blink stalkers and I wanted to have enough PDDs. Let me say that the PDD and turrets were a game killer, and I ended up massing Ravens FTW. | ||

People are still trying to phase BW strategies into an sc2 scene, and any new problem is trying to be dealt with by using an old solution. I think as the game progresses into further stages, people will see the usefulness of these upgrades. -- Consider this: A terran is on 4 base against a muta/ling baneling player, he has neosteel frame and building armor. a PF and a bunker with 8 marines in it essentially negates any harass that isn't large enough to be considered a full out assault. 8 stimmed marines inside a bunker could deal SERIOUS blows to any mutalisk offense, and the planetary shuts down ground forces entirely. The game just need to progress more. Terrans need to get inventive again. Agree with this guy completely. That is if it doesn't take until HoS for these upgrades to get used, because who knows if they'll get removed or not. | ||

Not really, defending w/ buildings means you can attack with your units, without having to worry about a counter attack of sorts. Like I said "it can alter terrans ability to push out". | ||

Medivacs have a pretty long staying time (compared to other spell casters), that means they're less likely to die, and survive throughout a game. So as the medivac lives, the initial boost of energy that comes from the upgrade becomes less and less significant. Also, the second a medivac spawns it still has enough energy to heal, its not like you need the extra energy to start healing. | ||

It's hardly an essential upgrade for sure but I do think it is useful | ||

anyways, the reason Gretorp upgrades aren't seen much is simply because Terran aren't really having too much trouble with P or Z, since what they are doing now works almost perfectly find. The Terran possibilities are endless :c | ||

For the sole reason that muta upgrades will never be able to keep up with infantry's, due to their ground upgrades. At most, it's at 2/0. In games where you have to rely on the armor and range upgrades to survive the muta packs, you have already lost the game. They aren't to survive the muta packs, they're to completely nullify the threat of a backstab when you're trying to push up. Mutas have an extremely difficult time against turrets with armor and hi-sec. I think the upgrades are useful in the super late game once 3/3 is done and the money is starting to pile up. | ||
