The Mothership is an exception to this rule, because you can only have one per Protoss player. I hope they do not increase the size of any of the units, they all seemed to fit onto the screen rather nicely at the test builds. I was honestly worried about the Thor being too big awhile back, and was really glad they fixed that. | ||

i dun like the blue strings that attach the two halves together either srsly they look like futuristic flimsy flying cars that could snap into two pieces if someone sat on it the custom model is a bit better but i think it's too bulky | ||

When they had TvT games where Thors were built on both sides, the screen looked clustered and unmanageable, thus they reduced the model of the Thor.

You can have ad many as you can afford with their high cost. | ||

The main reason why the SC2 Carrier has been made smaller is because it is not as strong anymore (that's on the record). Besides, thinking that you can legitimize your model with a SC1 community poll is pretty naive. I'm sure I could draw a new Thor/Viking model, a bit more Goliath-like, or an old-school siege tank, and the people here would also vote for them, it wouldn't mean jack shit for Blizzard though. | ||

It isnt necessarily. The mothership covers up a lot of gameplay because she is so large. (See also thors and colossi) But we also dont want it to be wimpy. Some good movement animations/mechanics and good sound will convince us that it is a lumbering behemoth. Also, covering up some of the holes in it will go a long way towards convincing players that the carrier is the scary warship that it is instead of a swiss cheese spaceship. | ||
