That's an amazing collection of screenshots. Great find, blindoutlaw!!

EDIT: What is this? It bears quite a resemblance to a Cerebrate if you ask me.

 

Aside from the distinct colors and the unique designs of the center pieces featuring them, each and every one also has a unique command bridge, as well as another additional aesthetic deviation.


Yamato: Regular command bridge + wider hammer-shaped front

Missile Barrage: Wings on the command bridge + reinforced hammer-shaped front and Missile Barrage batteries on the wings that connect the main hull with the weird rod things.

Defense Matrix: Extended command bridge with 360 degree view on the top + extra armor covering the weird rod things.

 

Yeh they do dont they, well its the little things that makes it awesome

oh and did you see that screenshot of the Terran-Protoss battle ontop of that Terran city?

there we go

God i cant wait for SC2

 

Kaaraa, that's the new Evolution Chamber.

 

You sure? I could see why they would change the Evolution Chamber's design (looks similar to the newest Ultralisk Den) but that seems a tad extreme.

 

nice!!! great find!

 

wow, the screenshot on the Terran city looks great(pic 5)

does pic 10 look weird grayish or is it just me?

Is that disruption web? The tanks don't seem to be floating, and they're attacking.

 

That's Anti-Gravity, however I don't know why on Earth they look as though they're attacking.

 

Maybe they can attack while floating.

But Carriers should be shinier.

 

An anti-grav'd unit is stunned, so no it can't attack.

 

But we aren't told of every update. Maybe they just tried of making them able to attack and took a screenshot of it so we would discuss it.

 

well this were posted before..

But yeah.

I think the battlecruiser looks crazzy good i cant wait to kill it with my warp rays.

 

huh. i totally missed the update where BC's got defensive matrix. that's pretty interesting though. i assume it can only protect itself? the ultimate terran meat shield?

 

Yes, a BC can only cast a Defensive Matrix upon it self.

 

does anyone know if it can survive a nuke with dmatrix? they changed the nuke to just a straight 800 damage or something, right? BCs could survive with 2-3 HP in the original.

 

A BC doesn't even need a D-Matrix to survive. Of course it would help, but a more sound plan than to waste energy would be to just move out of the way...

Anyways. the Nuke in SC2 deals 300 damage +200 vs buildings, so it would only take 300 damage which is even less than it did in SC. The D-Matrix only gives 200 hp btw, so it wouldn't absorb the entire impact.

 

really? that's pretty low. i thought they kept the "double nuke kills everything" mechanic. now it would take at least 3 to kill the CC/nexus/hives....

 

...Even if it gets the +200 damage bonus against buildings?
