the other i was kinda fooling around a bit, got the +100 energy research and raven. spammed auto turrets, it was fun

Vessels by far. The mech heal is SOOOO good. If the only things it could do was detect and heal mech the vessel would still be better. Irradiate is just the icing on the cake. I love the vessel for multiplayer - but it doesn't translate well to single player imo. The way its abilities work I just don't feel like if translates to many small to medium sized engagements over long periods of time like you run into in single player, at least imo.

Science vessels seemed too good to pass up. I kind of regret getting biosteel, since science vessels with +100 energy would have been awesome, and biosteel is kind of slow.

Did anyone ever actually use irradiate? Haha.

Lol I tried to use irradiate but stuff just melted to quickly to my tank/goliath armys. Still though I used irradiate allot, it just was never really needed. Also voted SV (obviously) medivacs for your mech/air? Yes please.

SV's healing was awesome but it felt like it moved way slower than before

Qwerty.

Vessels are like a Terran mech player's wet dream come true. I wonder what will be the next steamroll strategy for the zerg campaign? Queens that full heal with transfusions costing 10 energy and autocast while massing ultras/corrupters?

I got vessels solely because they aren't available in multiplayer. Didn't end up using them at all but apparently their mech healing is pretty strong..

Flying EMP, Defensive Matrix which owns on tanks/thors(probably) and Irriadiate which is super good and would be ridiculous in sc2 since there are no scourge.

Irradiate is the only Science Vessel ability from SC: BW which is available in the campaign. The SC: 2 science vessel has Irradiate and a mech autoheal.

never looked at Kerrigan's armor, how much of it does she have anyway?

I remember checking after my tanks were doing nothing to her, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, her hardened shields must be a hidden passive ability.

Got the SV because It was fun to have something new (and ravens abilities are primarily support and harassment, not too necessary in campaign)
Edit: quoted wrong person, whoops

There's no real point in Raven. HSM is nice but nothing that an additional tank or AoE viking can't do. Auto-turret is nice, but will it really do anymore 'tanking' than a mech unit with repair? PDD is a great ability, but the computer doesn't ever stack units of one type. Vikings already decimate all the air you'll ever encounter, hydras only appear in low numbers, and all protoss ground armies feature a large # of zealots, HTs, Archons, and Immortals all of which are unaffected by PDD. The threats from terran usually center around siege tanks or marine balls as well.
