Special abilities: Enter Refinery - steal 1000 gas. Enter Covert Ops - reveal all cloaked units for thirty seconds.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

That's interesting but don't you think that the player would notice the change in his army size, even if it is very insignificant?

Not to mention not being able to select those units and order them around...

Could be cool for momentary scouting I suppose.

Could be annoying as hell to deal with since (I assume) your units won't attack them unless they're ordered to.
Perhaps detection reveals them?

Seems pretty useless because they'll catch the random unit wandering in on the minimap; the best way to get it into an army is during a big battle, but you'd 1) probably want to be destroying the army anyways 2) still need them to not be looking.

I dunno it's a neat idea n all but how the hell are you suppose to use it?

"Oh HAI, i see some random units in the middle of nowhere it must be mine1!"
"Oh HAI, i just lost a huge messy battle but how come he's not attacking my 3 marines?!"

I just don't see how you can possibly use it. Seeing how bases are built on high-ground it'll be rediculously hard trying to sneak one in somehow

yea exactlly my point, maybe it maybe viable late game when scouting out for different expansions, i mean like chaging into an SCV and just hiding in the mineral line or something like that, but it would be only viable in late game since in the early game a player would easily notice why one of its gatherers isn't mining b/c of the automine system. It would probably only work in a very well saturated mineral line to boot.
But it will be hard to tell until beta is released and we can see whether it is used efficiantly or just ignored.
Act the way you'd like to be, and soon you'll be the way you act.

It doesn't cost anything to build these I don't think and they're spawned from the Overseer (Upgraded Overlord). So even if they do die alot, it'll give you that little bit of extra scouting as a zerg which I'm guessing could be very good. Considering they are free.

But surely it won't give vision to your opponent, and surely it won't attack your own units, which would make it very easy for your opponent to spot. Furthermore, I doubt it attacks your enemy while it's camouflaged, and why would you spend money on a unit that doesn't attack or cast spells? edit: nevermind, apparently they are free.

An important question still needs an answer: is it single player only?
