You can launch first volley and move up to 12 range and force change target there. Like this you can siege things a lot easier with carriers. | ||

Technically, the leash range is 14 according to Liquipedia, so maybe some gifted micro can extend that effective range even further to the limits of the leash range. In comparison, the Tempest currently has range 15, so maybe Carrier micro can be an alternative to Tempest use. | ||

I mean the interceptors launch their last attacks but their return to carrier of that range. At least thats what i remember from BW (watched a LOT, silver stork carry micro<3) | ||

I'm a hardcore terran player but I really really Reaaallyy love this. But Blizz made a mistake. They should add this to change log ASAP! | ||

Because they probably implemented this weeks ago and shoved into the "big sledgehammer patch" box without adding the documentation to the proper file. Half the changed data is missing from the patch notes (like the tiny detail that the Thor with its single-target-AA attack shoots faster than the regular AoE attack). | ||

I think the carrier will just sit at the "expensive but extremely powerful and food efficient -- build lots of me if you're rich!" Nah, I think what Blizzard have decided is to give each race two main threads they can go down, so with Terran it's T Bio T Mech Z Melee Z Ranged P Ground P Air It wouldn't surprise me if they fold Air upgrades for zerg into the ranged upgrades solely to buff a roach/hydra/muta composition. There are obvious overlaps (particularly in TvZ) but that strikes me as the direction they're going atm. | ||

But god damn, I'm really really happy blizzard managed to bring back even one of the mechanics that made the original starcraft what it was. We should all get together to make the dev team a card or something. They have the Reaver now? Or should I just assume they dont? | ||
