It looks like a corsair to me :o I think it will be great. Even though I wanted reaver.

This new one will fly around, probably not that fast (it will be for harass so it can't be like 4 speed lol, probably like stalker speed and then like really slow when the laser/storm shoots), do lots of AOE damage to lots of weak ground units (bio, specifically marines and also hydras)

That way you can go air since you can deal with mass anti air like marines and hydras


Uhh, an air unit that kills all the anti-air units from the other races seems like a bad idea. How would you defend against it?

(Especially hydras--Marines are level 1 tech and Terrans can go Thors. But Zerg don't have any other anti-air aside from Corruptors, which can't even hit ground so would get killed by any tech switch at all.)

Blizzard guy nr1: Hey guys, guys !!??!
The others: What what ??
Blizzard guy nr1: You know... toss don't use phoenixes almost at all past the mid game since ghost can emp all there energy in 1 shoot and 1 funguals can get a grup of up to 20 killed, Vr are the most cost inefficient dps ever and they are hardcountered by hydras rines infestors and vikings which are "standard" unit for the other 2 races and the carrier still does less dps then 2 stimed rines all tho it costs as much as 20 of them.
The others: True true
Blizzard guy nr2: So what do we do about it ?
David Kim: We add a new stargate unit
The others: Genius O.O

Honestly if this isn't something around the line of Revamped mothership/carrier/phoenix im gonna be mad at them, a stargate unit is like the last the freaking last thing toss needs atm with 3 sg units that are barely seen outside of all ins ( 4 if you count the mamaship ) and 2 ( mamaship and carrier ) that can't even be used in a decent all in.

Edit: Thinking about it, it might be "the unit" that is some kind of air units support and makes the other air units work but i doubt it.

Maybe this unit need sometime to charge up a lightning ball and do great ground splash damage. Sounds like a good ground harrass air unit that is not too imbalance, since you have time to respond to it. Will work great with sentry. And probably some upgrade to give it more spells such as shield battery. Damn excited about this.

its probably a corsair, a really really badass corsair. To be presumptuous it really would excite me if it was air, i love skytoss vs zerg.

People are saying it looks like a scourge, corsair, and phoenix. I think you're missing the fact that the arms are encasing an energy field in the center. You can see bits of energy all converging inside. Scourge and Phoenix don't have that.

Maybe a dark sentry or something?

Commercial advertiser's voice: Have you ever been upset by an enemy Terran lifting their buildings after you defeat them, acting with inconsiderate and bad mannered behavior? Well, have no fear! For now you can also bad manner your opponents, with the new FLYING GATEWAY. Get your new FLYING GATEWAY now, and watch as you lift up your buildings to the anger and rage of Terran players who are better at cheesing than you are. With this new FLYING GATEWAY, you can now perform all sorts of new strategic maneuvers, such as but not limited to: kamikaze building to blow into the poor units below, suicidal FLYING GATEWAY cheese into those dang marines, or smother enemies by stomping on them with a crashing production structure once used to produce zealots, stalkers, and sentries. Also, for an upgrade of only 300/300, a FLYING GATEWAY can shoot giant laser beams of death.

That's a hard one :D

But I doubt it's protoss air unit, cause protoss already has air unit vs. light and vs. armored. But maybe it's a spellcaster.

I agree with the poster above me. Design-wise, the new units look pretty terrible and deformed.

Except the batarang controller looks more protoss than stalkers/colossi/carriers do now, because it's smooth with gradual curvature and elegance.

Half protoss is bad sharp 'what if zerg had technology' designs. It's dumb and doesn't fit SC at all. They need to look more different.

Or they could have a big content patch that dramatically changes the stats of the Stargate units that they can't release right now cause the stats that they balanced for said theoretical patch are only balanced once this unit is in there.

i think its pretty safe bet this unit, if air, will replace the mothership, or maybe the carrier.

just like i think the zerg unit could replace the ultra, and i think the terran unit will replace the thor or hellion.

just ADDING units would be wtfomgbbq terrible bad for balance

If it's an exact replica of the corsair, i will be one happy protoss

I don't really see the need for a corsair in SC2 (unless they remove the phoenix, which I think is unlikely)

If it is a stargate unit, (which it totally looks like) I think that it will be a siege unit, like what the Guardian in BW was.


Yeah exactly what protoss needs, another long range DPS unit that is countered by AA... Not like carrier and colossus is already overlapping there.

The Protoss are based on the eldar, and the eldar have a very similar looking hover tank.

Check it out.

Ok what I figured out of this is that its a air-bourne kind of boomerang shooter.

Think of it like this, the boomerang shaped part of it is separable with the main body.

When the ship doesnt attack it stays mounted on the main part of the ship, when it attacks it gets loose from the main body and that boomerang part of it is the attack itself of the ship, then when its done attacking it goes back and mounts itself on the main body again.

I think disruption web will make Phoenixes and void ray very powerful and 100% force hydra. Maybe hydra will get some buffs in hots
