Starbases would be little imba... proxi starbases (lol) would emerge from the hell mohahaha Im glad for the non-shooters templars (like in starcraft) and no stimable marines in bunkers (like in starcraft). And in sc2 the ghost would be a overused unit vs zerg, vs protoss, vs terran... overused unit at all. | ||

I liked the idea but I guess it didn't work in practice. I sort of saw that coming... Oh well. | ||

The mana regen thing was probably imabalanced as well as new (slow [BC?]) units popping up fresh in the front battle lines in later macro games. It totally takes away a lot of the balance to these capital ships. Not only that but its an expensive upgrade so no one is going to get it unless these late game macro war circumstances. | ||

Also its called surveilance since it increases the sight range of the cc in addition ot providing the scanner, so in effect you get more from it if built on the front somewere but then you also lose more since its easily killed. | ||

I dunno, seemed viable to me. Say, you're "rushing" BCs to spray the opponent's mineral line. When the Starport is completed, you upgrade it and begin construction of the Deep Space Relay. When the Starbase is ready, you lift it off and fly towards the enemy base, making BCs as soon as the DSR finishes. So by the time you get your first BC (which is a set amount of time, if you're teching directly), it's already near the enemy workers and has full energy. Maybe that's why they scrapped the Starbase... On September 30 2007 06:51 Klockan3 wrote: i hope i dont need to explain why the fortress shouldnt be able to fly. lol, it won't help. The difference is, this way using the PF offensively may qualify as a Pimpest Play. | ||

But not being able to lift with Comsat? It artificially makes them more valuable than they really are. I hate how Blizzard is changing the entire Terran approach to reconnaissance. The scanner towers or whatever completely destroy the ability of the opponent to make surprise attacks, yet you can only build it at your base. And if you want to build a Comsat station, you have to guard that Command Center like a motherfucker because you can't lift it. All this does is just make Terrans more reactionary. | ||
