Is that not worth the tons of marines you will potentially lose or the bunch of mules you waste from scanning instead?

Of course, Terran players(see Painuser) are so lazy.

i guess it takes time because terrans usually like getting a reactor on starport

No excuse, you should have a reactor from your barracks ready to switch by that point in the game

Getting a raven is very awkward. You can't get it in a way that doesn't screw up current builds and timings.

We (terrans) need to find a way to incorporate ravens in the mid-game.


Is this still true with the builds that get banshees? It will delay medivacs but I don't know if that makes it awkward, but just slower and less risky.

200 gas is soooo much >.>

But you have to lift the building... And it takes soooooooooo long, you're like "Come on raven get ready I need you!" and it's all like "NO, me wanna stay in base for awhile". Ravens are so stuck up man...


And when you are trying to go somewhere, they're always dragging their heels because they want to stay at home and watch movies. I swear they fly slower just to frustrate us. Fucking Ravens man...

Remove orbital upgrade and we got a deal.

And give us PDD + auto turrets. Actually, just give us the ravens ಠ_ಠ

PDD then with marine support won't be worth losing most/all muta's to kill it if a PDD is thrown down.


pdd will stop mutalisk volleys for less than a second.


And if u do a raven then u re producing medivacs one by one if u dont make a second starport ... I mean its not impossible but i m rly not sure its good to make early/mid game (but late game when u can get 3/4 so that they are effective with pdd or missiles).

Exactly. Scans are much more cost efficient in context with build order.

Almost no TvZ build include banshee tho.

PDD's are useless in TvZ due to how easy it is to force them with mutas and how easy it is for mutas to disengage again. A raven in TvZ is a 200 gas paperweight that detects.

They should really give Ravens stimpacks... Marines can shoot faster with those things, they could pedal faster so they don't slow down drugged Terran armies.

You mean the 50 cheaper gas? They didn't buff/nerf ghost actual stats except made it cost a little less gas. So I don't think that patch had much of an influence on if terran can afford it or not.
