hope it's not too late :\

In the latest Q&A it was revealed that only the medivac currently has an unload animation of all the transport units in the game. Do the transports still have the ability to unload and move at the same time as was possible in SC1 (by pressing U and clicking on the transport unit as it was moving)?

In the latest Q&A, Dustin Browder said that the new macro mechanics are currently working out very well. Will these be replacing the gas mechanic? Or are they both going to be in use?

1. Is it possible to zoom out far enough? On Warcraft III the maximum zoom distance isn't very good especially on big screen. I think you should be able to even see the whole map on screen, if you wanted to zoom far out.

2. Zerg unites have some bonus for example on moving speed while they are on creep. Do they also get that bonus from allied team creep or even from the enemy one?

In BR2, when a group of units were issued a move command, their animations would begin at exactly the same time. This resulted in a very robotic flow, espeically with discontinuous movement such as zergling hopping. Does Blizzard have any plans to randomize animations (perhaps randomize the part animation units will start at) so that move flow looks more natural? (Of course individuals in the group would still move at the same rate, they would just look slighly different)

Edit: Looks likes the Q&A have already been submitted, my bad :S

It's true that microing hit-and-run style like you would with mutas is not going to be effective with a void ray. But then again the ultralisks have quick mobility, so if what you say is true about the void ray being only useful for stationary targets, it will not be effective agains the ultralisk either.

More than hit-and-run, I was referring to Corsair or Mutalisk movement when chasing, say, speed overlords: with good micro sairs/mutas will barely slow down while shooting down groups of fleeing Overlords. I'm just hoping the warp ray could do that so they would be more advantageous when chasing down, say, weakenned BCs, or indeed speed overlords (really, i'mm just hoping the void ray fills up the hollow gap left by the absence of the Corsair)
