Of course it doesn't provide with a free new supply depot. But doubling the supply on a current depot has the same effect a buying a whole new one. It's not literally what happens, but the effect is just about the same.

Doubtful, but even if this is true, SD would be relegated to SP-only, and that would be a sad fate for such a great abilitiy. On April 05 2010 14:35 peckham33 wrote: (probally missspelled it).

Just a bit. what i was trying to say with the first quote you took is that the word choice some people are useing implies that they think that it builds a whole new depot at a location of choice. what i was saying about the campain is that terran is getting the first campain and this is a teran ability, so it should be in the campain. and if my memory of starcraft is correct, many of the abilities that at first seem week usually have a mission where part of it involves that ability. I ussually put a side note of some kind when i spell something as closs as my memory lets me but i think it is wrong since my computer dosen't have internet spellcheck and i don't know how to get it. (EDIT) to keep from sidetracting to much: thanks man. | ||

I think supply drop should remain as it is. It's really a great ability for noob to average Terran players, who will often both forget to use their command energy and forget to build supply depots. In Broodwar an unskilled Terran player was at a big disadvantage compared to an unskilled Zerg player because of Terran's harder macro, this particular mechanic really helps to narrow that gap. While it's probably not going to be used a great deal in pro games, the supply drop feature is a stroke of genius from Blizzard when it comes to balancing the game for lower level play. | ||

Ive watched streams where the terran slammed one down because they forgot and really needed to get that extra viking or tank out to keep their timed push on ...time. Was it the best use of their energy? No certainly not but it allowed them to stay within the timing window they had planned. | ||

My own thoughts on it's use in 1v1 however, aren't very bright. As mentioned multiple times already in this thread, it seems to be a tactic that can be worked in to all-in or cheesey builds. Not that this is a bad thing, but on a professional level, I can see a lot of players specifically staying away from the ability solely because of how it can be used early game. | ||

I refuse to accept that the only use for supply drop is as a crutch for nublets. If I'm coming in your base with an immortal drop, you know the first thing I'm going to is that browner depot. Instant supply block. A dead mule that finished half it's mining is a much better situation to be in than instantly losing 16 supply. | ||

The optimal situation is obviouslly to get your damn warp prism out of my base and spend 300 minerals on some turrets (Which I should have anyway because I don't want your obs running free in my base) | ||
