I'm interested to see if it's still in the game as well because it's an interesting change, I worry that it will hit canon rushes too hard though. I don't think you can actually get that ability out in time. From what I remember from the Battle Report, you need to have either a gateway or a cybernetics core to get one... and even then you have to save energy to get the cannon ability. Cannon rushes will hit way before then. | ||

It *does* kind of seem like that  hmm i dont really see why this was a problem anyway? it just seems to remove some cheeses like cannon rush, but the low-hi ground warp in with obs/air/hallucinated units was fun to do and watch. i get the 4gate v 4gate thing but if your control and scouting was good you should be able to kill off the pylon before it warps in anything. At least thats what everyone seems to be able to do to me when i try this  | ||

Cannon rushes will hit way before then. I'm pretty sure you only need a nexus to make the mothership core. So, gas, mcore. Which everyone should get asap every game due to the massive benefits as an energy bank for mass chrono, or recall, or crazy strong defense. Look at tal'darim in PvP. 1 player 4 gates 'casue that's what you do on TA' and the other guy fast expands and drops an M-core on his expo, mostly walls off the main. see the 4 gate coming, seal the main with a gateway, activate the purifyer, warp in units. That 4 gate is dead in the water. Range 13, 60dmg, 1.3 fire rate. just an m-core and decent probe micro should hold it. | ||

But yeah, this is just flat out stripping tactics from the game and making it more bland for the 22 range tempest design. | ||
