    As the office lights dim here, before we close up shop for the rest of the year, I would like to wish everyone happy holidays, as it has been quite an exciting year with many big announcements!

    Though of course, 2007 will be nothing compared to 2008, as those announcements will only be getting bigger!

    To kick off 2008, we will be starting off the first episode of the BlizzCast podcast series, a Battle of the Fan Sites StarCraft Tournament, and we'll be adding a 'hands on' StarCraft II feedback section to the Q&A Batches.

    If you have a fan site, starting up a fan site, or are just looking to play some StarCraft, join up this tournament with Blizzard prizes at:
    http://www.starfeeder.com/blog/archives/blizzard_sponsors_our_starcraft_fansite_tournament/

    In the meantime since we don't have an official Q&A Batch, we have two fan questions submitted from blizzplanet.com:


    1) Can the Nomad's auto-turrets attack air units?

    No, the auto-turrets currently only attack ground. Nonetheless, with their rapid fire rate, they are excellent for worker raids and supporting an engaging battle.


    2) Will the Nomad build other mechanisms besides the auto-turrets?

    Yes, the Nomad will be able to build multiple stationary defenses. We are currently testing a few of these, to see which will fit the best for the Nomad.

    Happy Holidays & New Years! 2008 here we come!

    "Yes, the Nomad will be able to build multiple stationary defenses."

    I knew it! [me=Gasmaskguy]feels proud about himself.[/me]

    I am not participating in that tournament. I would just be a burden... :p

    I don't understand what are you trying to say?

    EDIT:
    Well I got my mineral bonus....

    Seriously, nobody :powerup: me anymore when I post something good. And I post it very often because it gets on the front page. I think people have gotten used to my posts for the front page and don't :powerup: me anymore for them. :(

    EDIT EDIT: I'm not asking for a :powerup:, I'm just making a point. :thumbup:

    I still say the Nomad should be able to create a batch of reapers/marines in seconds for emergencies, but they would cost much more :D

    Being on the front page is reward enough. Copy and paste work is not worth even the consideration of a powerup. Ypou having the audacity to ask is enough for you notto get any.

    If you want powerups then spend time writing something yourself and being helpful. Then the powerups will come in naturally.

    Now as for the update:
    Where is Kerrigan Claus? Thats a dissapointment.

    Pity we have no FAQ this week

    Your powerlevel is 74 LT :D We can clearly see that you have contributed to the forums.
    And I agree with what BoP said.

    I guess so, but some people could be working on them over Christmas, or even come up with good Ideas and it will probably be a rush of new ideas coming in. :D

    Perhaps they already made the entire Zerg prsentation before they left, and then on Christmas morn, they'll just start the program and upload it to the site and all will be merry!

    Merry Christmas!

    This is awesome. The idea that a lot of people on these forums have been talking about (multiple turrets for the Nomad) is actually being done. Sweet.
