When converting a Gateway to a Warp Gate, the right side of the arc begins to open before the other.

The status portrait for the Warp Gate displays the front and rear arcs in an erect position; this is never represented in-game. [Edit: Not to be construed into the case of the Gateway - probably my fault]

When a Gateway warps in, you can briefly see an older rendition of its crystal.

The Protoss color palette has many incongruencies: notably, the color and quality of Khaydarin crystals with wildly contrasting hues of blue and sometimes being team colored. They become increasingly wuutt when powered and unpowered variations are compared. Also, Protoss structures that do not require Pylon power flip on like a light switch instead of smoothly transitioning into a powered state.

When a Warp Gate loses power, the void never dissipates; likewise, the globe in the Fleet Beacon remains visible.

The decals on the Robotics Bay retain an unusual luminance after the structure has lost power.

Protoss air units undergo a warp-in animation script upon completion when spawned from a Nexus, Robotics Facility, or Stargate. Ground units lack this script when spawned from a Nexus, Gateway, Robotics Facility, or Warp Prism.

When the Command Center upgrades, Its flaps open to allow the construction barricade to erect. However, when the Command Center is under construction and the same case is true, the flaps are not visible, and revealed to be in the closed position when the barricade recedes.

The Factory is the only Terran structure to have its window lights on before completing the construction animation.

Both Vespene Geyser models unnecessarily clip through the Extractor while it is mutating.

Gas barrels emit light for a very wide radius, gas cubes even less so, and gas sacks don't glow at all.

The luminance and texture of the gas barrel shown at the refinery and the model carried by workers do not match.

In Starcraft 2, armor names are homogenized for all units that belong to that school; because some units possess more than one standard attack, attacks are given individual names. The reason this is relevant is because I'm trying to establish congruency rules for armor names that attack names do not adhere to. When an armor name doesn't match its upgrade, it's something to talk about, unlike attack names which have a valid exclusion.

Zerg Building armor is the only structure armor to not have a unique icon, instead it shares the same icon as Ground Carapace Level 1.
None of the unit armor schools for Protoss share the same naming scheme for both the upgrade title and armor title; the same is true for shields.
The 'Protoss Plating' armor title is used for both Protoss structures and Protoss air units.
The incremental icon set for Protoss Plating (air units) and its upgrades is not congruent in form, nor is it congruent in color scheme when compared against Protoss Armor (ground units).
Protoss Plating (structures) Is the only first tier icon with a colored aura; assuming Zerg Building Armor is in error.
The Baneling's attack icon does not match the Melee Attacks school, despite belonging to it and honoring its upgrades.
The Spore Crawler's attack icon does match the Missile Attacks school, despite not belonging to it nor honoring its upgrades.

Most racial status verbs that were present in the original Starcraft are not present in Starcraft 2's UI (Opening Warp Gate, Evolving, etc) regardless of what race or UI you are using.

The Command Center/Orbital Command door closes in a different fashion and to a greater degree when lifted off than it does while upgrading.

Dropping an SCV from a flying Command Center does not utilize the Terran drop animation used by Medivacs (Pictured Below); instead, the SCV just appears as if spawned.

The Command Center's destruction is of a lower fidelity when compared with other Terran/Protoss production and research structures - it is also the only structure of those kinds to not leave behind large gibs.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/GzC0S.png)
The same can be said, more or less, for the Nexus. It's only large gib is identical to the base of a Gateway/Warp Gate.

When an unpowered Robotics Facility is destroyed, the animation's first frame immediately begins with the canopy in a reclined position. This is the only in-game method that I have found to produce this. Because it lacks a decal and is similar to the Robotics Bay's unpowered state, it can be assumed that it once served that very same purpose, but was later changed. I can't prove it, but I actually remember it looking like that in the beta.

Completed Protoss structures in the absence of pylon power introduce some interesting results.
- They begin and remain bronze
- The power-up aura occurs
- The power-up animation occurs if applicable, and lights are turned on
At this point, one of 2 courses is taken, depending on the scripts used for that structure
- The power-down animation occurs, lights are turned off, and spinning parts continue if present
- Lights remain on (pictured below)

The Roach almost doesn't have a crumbled trail during burrowed movement, this particular frame is generous.

When the Spore Crawler roots, it lacks the additional thorny collar that the Spine Crawler acquires.

[Edit: Sorry guys, I noticed this in unit tester v0.92, and double checked it in a standard melee game and found out it isn't true. I'm going to leave the entry up so no one will read posts pertaining to this and wonder if they are missing something.]

Don't ask how this wire connects or something bad might just happen to you.

-------------------------------------------------------UPDATE 2-----------------------------------------------------------
As of Patch 1.3.1, both the Zerg and Protoss UIs are using the Terran gas barrel next to the gas count. I'm going to guess this was recently broken with 1.3.0's new interface features.

When multiple units are selected with the Zerg UI, orange aliasing is visible around the status portraits. [Please squint]
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/FZeoW.png)
The status portraits of all units with visible upgrades (Zerglings, Marines, Bunkers, etc) reflect said upgrades within the portrait, except for the Battlecruiser, which remains unchanged after researching Weapon Refit.
All units face south-east in their production icons.
All units also face south-east in their status portraits; the only exceptions being the units pictured below, which face south-west. Related or not, they are all Terran.

During alpha phase, the Zerg cocoon had really nice caustics and a fluid swimming animation; warping-in structures had a wisp that would orbit the void. I don't know if the omission of either was deliberate, but you can see both of them in action by digging up Battle Report 3.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/JBopt.png)
Like the Factory and Starport, the Barracks does pump when producing units; however, the animation is so slow and subtle that it took me a year and a whole thread about it to notice. It also has unused lights that haven't been active since early alpha. Ironically, the one light the barracks does use isn't on the model itself, as pictured.

The Baneling production icon is miscolored and no longer matches the unit after the texture change during late beta.

The Spine Crawler production icon is actually a depiction of the alpha Spine Crawler.
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/6BAPs.png)
All Protoss units and structures with shining veins do so passively, with the exception being the Nexus, which only pulses while producing units.

Some tooltips in the game use the term 'supply' to refer to 'psi' and 'control'. Also, the first argument offered from the supply count tooltip is false for all three races.

I'm not going to decide what qualifies as inconsistent verb usage for all cases; here's one of many(as described earlier, and even in the image above) that makes a safe suspect.
