Nova will never join you but you'll get ghosts. However spectres are much more useful as they have an AOE stun and an ability that lets them do 200 dmg. Ghosts are much less useful.

nova dont join u. but u can see her in arsenal sometimes...
both units r useless after this mission. because all missions r build as tutorial for unit u unlock in this mission so u will have to build this keyunits anyway and there is nothing a ghost can do better than this keyunit in this mission. so u can try to use them but that only as gimmick and mostly more difficult than to use the keyunit.

Nova. Sniping is awesome, and the ghosts armory upgrades are so absurdly awesome. Spectres were kind of meh, although Tosh's mission was pretty fun.

"Impossible Scenarios" is a genre of custom map that gives you and your team mates a fairly limited number of units and encourages you to overcome seemingly impossible odds using micro. It's similar to what you would play in the Nova mission, albeit usually much harder.

Redid the Campaign a few times and the it really became clear that Tosh was the morally correct choice. Nova is hotter than Tosh, I mean not like it was a contest, but you betray your ally because someone that work for your enemy says your ally may become psychotic. Essentially Nova uses you to kill someone she wouldn't be able to get without you turning on him.

Would Tosh really become evil? He was freaky and violent, but so is Tychus who is your best friend.
+ Show Spoiler +
Tosh warns you that Tychus is hiding something and also that the Hanson is too which is weird. Though if you choose to purify the colony and see the ending scene than his fears were warranted


Lastly replayed and kept Dr. Hanson just to talk to her, after doing Tosh's break out mission she flat out says that Nova was lying to you and that Spectres are no more violent than anybody else. Only that a sudden increase in psionic ability could create a mental break down, but I read the SC book about Nova, she freaking killed an entire building of people with her psionic abilities. In Nova's mission you see a psyionic indoctrinator which is weird, but it's probably just to control their abilities.

Spectres are a far better unit if you are doing this on Brutal and want to give a shot at using them vs Kerrigan. Otherwise, both units are pretty bad in the campaign.

Well if you go and listen to their TV duel you will see that Tosh says that Nova will not stay with you and she does not disagree, she will come and teach you how to train ghosts and then leave. Tosh will be on board and you can talk to him etc.

Another thing I've heard but can't confirm. In the collectors edition it is said that the choices they will stick to in regards to the story are Raynor saves the colonists from the Protoss and Raynor picks Tosh.

Wow, really

purifying the colony and helping the protoss is much better IMO

+ Show Spoiler +


The scene with the infested Hanson was AWESOME, but I still preferred saving the colonists.

Well I chose Nova because of SC Ghost but spectres are probably the better unit for the entire game even if I hate tosh

edit: Nova is hot so...

I chose all the wrong paths. Decided to side with protoss and wipe out colonists and team up with Nova to take down Tosh. God those were horrible cinematics to watch afterwards.

I chose Nova specifically because I wanted to be familiar with units that are in the multiplayer. Choosing spectres was simply not an option for me. In that same regard, I don't train firebats or medics anymore now that I have hellions and medivacs.
Looks like you mashed some poor fellers dog, Sarge.

If you kept Tosh around, you just missed on one of the campaign's most hilarious cinematic.

Just for that it's worth siding with Nova at least once to see it, so go redo that mission right now.

Absolutely not. The ghosts, once you get them both armory upgrades, are walking gods. You can much easier just wipe away entire levels with mass ghosts than you can spectres.

If there's anything Raynor learned from Mengsk, it's not to trust random people helping you overthrow a corrupt government. That's why I helped Nova.

Nova was hot, tosh was an asshole with a Jamaican accent. Easy choice.

As a poster pointed out a few posts up, Nova isn't all sunshine and daisies.

I'm staggered by the sheer number of people here who picked Nova because of her beauty. If more women knew how easily seduced men are, we'd be in a lot of trouble.
So close, and yet so far
