I was thinking about the neosteel frame upgrade. Is it worthy? I mean, now regarding that salvaging the bunker returns 25 less minerals.. it is not good to research this upgrade so you can fit more units inside a bunker? in this way you use 2 bunkers instead of 3 to save the same amount of units and if you salvage it you will be losing only 50 minerals instead of 75? Besides bunkers looks nicer :D | ||

On topic, though, I think that the Neosteel Frame upgrade is one of those upgrades which is useful, but far less important than Infantry Weapons and Armor upgrades, and in TvZ, less important than Hi-Sec Auto-tracking. The difference in salvage return is really unimportant late game (as it's a fraction of what your income should be), and early game any available engineering bay time should be spent pumping Infantry upgrades. However, if you're 3-3, there's really no reason not to get Hi-Sec and Neosteel. It can be the difference between losing and saving a Planetary Fortress against a big baneling bust, and that can easily be the difference between winning and losing. | ||

On topic, the engineering research time is fatal against protoss who are pushing x2 upgrades with cb. Even if you do get it, and they are not pushing upgrades... An early six gate or immortal push will still crack your bunkers due to force field. against zerg you are looking at a zerg with equal or higher upgraded units. You will not survive mutant ling. | ||

Bunkers are mostly strong in the early game. I agree. In lategame bunkers aren't worth it as you want a mobile army instead and in early game the upgrade is too expensive. It's probably the only upgrade i wouldn't mind if blizzard removed it. Even Medivac energy is a lot more useful. However, building armor and hi-sec are definitely useful as they help a ton against muta harass, marine drops, etc. and can buy you just enough time to save something. | ||

This upgrade, while is useful for turtling up and slow pushing, takes time away from upgrades, and tbh all of the upgrades available at the engineering bay are much better than this. +2 building armor for unkillable pfs and longer range on pfs and turrets, not to mention to attack and armor upgrades make this seem like not the best upgrade. perhaps it needs a tweaking for HotS, or just be removed in general. Terran already has so much stuff that they never ever need to research this (caduceus reactor for medivac energy anyone?) | ||

Lol Caduceus reactor, i think i have never researched this upgrade.... i think anyone did.. anyways, perhaps this neosteel frame requires a lower price so it can be more "atractive" for players to research it... anyways, if this is done and players start to use it, i can't wait to see bnet forums asking for nerf as they usually do | ||
