    Hey people. I've just seen the Mothership unit thing (what do you call that thing at starcraft2.com where theres a place that shows the unit features...) about the cloaking ability in game play clip. After the Mothership uses the cloaking field the Stalkers attacked the Mothership. I found a strange thing, in that little clip. The stalkers attack range is soo long...

    Heres the question
    HOW long is the Stalkers attack range (it attacked the Mothership from quite a distance. Does it mean if the Stalker has a good sight range can it attack a Air unit without being killed itself?)

    I'm just wondering...

    They must have a hefty sight range too since they were still firing after the zealots ran.  Hopefully it is an upgrade because we dont need that kinda range to early They also might have had an observer

    I think that it'd be fair for them to have it. They don't seem to do too much damage except in large numbers. And they can only Blink within their sight range, makes sense for them to have a large one. But they're rather frail, and my guess is expensive.

    It isn't the sight range that scares me it is the attack range. Its kinda far

    if they had an observer they could spot the invisible units, so i dont think so. ;)

    but yes, apparently the stalkers have longer range than the mother ship.
    keep in mind that the mothership have a short range attack.
    mabye the mother ship cant attack when it have the cloking field on. ???

    :good: just to aggre, the stalkers have a pzyco long range. :)

    I thought the Dragoon's range is as long as the Stalker's :-\
    Probably it just looks longer, it looks fine to me...

    yeah, except this can cloak buildings, but why waste time with the obvious details?

    the stalkers are okay,they are good units.it's the lack of artillery and support units(arbiter and reaver,anyone ??),and the numerous flaws of the Mothership that worries me the most about the Protoss.

    rhe mothership is still a mothership, now its coming with the fleets instead of attacking by itself actually its now more a motheship, its the center of a fleet instaead of a 1 man fleet

    the stalkers are basically dragoons with blink, the immortal, on the other hand, is totally different it has much more hp, hardened shield and can only attack land.
