    To be honest, I dun really like the Medivac. If we do an analysis of Medics in SC1 vs SC2, we can easily see that the Medics r more efficient healers. Main reason is that firstly they are at a lower tier which can make Marines utilizing stim pack early game. Terrans r suppose to be a race which relies on micro and hence medics actually is a good example of this concept. Secondly, the Medivac is lacking of the two other spells which the SC1 Medic possess. In conclusion with the Medivac being place in such a high tier, it has the potential of making Terran infantry weak.

    My suggestion is for the Medic to be merge with Marauder. Then this "new" Medic being a pure spellcaster will have a heal spell and the slowing grenade the marauder has. The last ability could be irridiate or anything which can benefit the Terran race. As such this Medic will be very useful to the Terran race. And I dislike reactors since it makes Terran zergish..Therefore medics need to be a strong supporter to compensate for the lack of reactors..

    As for Medivac I hope it can be change to Mechavac instead. Instead of healing biological units, it should be able to repair any nearby mechanical unit therefore making repairing work easier for air units. If possible merge the "Mechavac" with Nomad/Nighthawk as having too many supporting units is redundant. The freed space can be given to a Terran ATA unit. It could be the Wraith from SC1 or Predators with intercept..

    I had no reply at all regarding the technical questions I asked in another topic. Why shall I believe I would be more heard in this one?

    Blizzard is not very good at feedback on feedback. This is an issue we're working on with them.

    Also, to answer the questions of where I talked about Medivac Dropships, it was from WWI.

    http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5411&highlight=medivac+dropship

    And I admit it wasn't all that impressive. So I apologize on that front. But I did discuss the Nydus Worm (in the BlizzCon Review) and Warp-In (in the Blizzcon, WWI, and March reviews).

    useless

    why vote on something most of us didn't even experiment.
    some ideas may sound cool or not to us but have to opposite
    effect once we use them in game.

    Just making a post so you know im not dead (yet)!

    I Didnt vote, but as everyone that know me probably remembers, my opinion on this subject is the following:

    YES! - Just cool!

    NO! - just watched the fantastic video "tribute to space marines", which IMO should have the name: Tribute the space medics, as they did hlaf of the job

    Keep - but change it back to the unit form!

    You have to keep in mind the kind of power the Marauder has had in different builds. Expences seem to change the most often, but damage seems to be fairly consistent (6-10, never seems to go less or greater than). Coupled with the slow effect, the new M&M combo we're seeing could wipe the floor with enemy forces before they even get a scratch - That's why I'm glad the Medivac is late tier.

    This is not really an issue to me, as I can understand such company, as almost every company, may want to keep some part of the product they are about to release mysterious, in order to feed the teasing around the release as much as possible.

    I have no problem with that, and can wait, this is just I had no feedback from the people who stated:
    No feedback at all.
    Again, I can understand you may not get as much feedback as you would have expected, but I would appreciate something: just a "no", a "omg that question sux" or a "shut up plz" or "that question has already been answered [insert link here]" etc. Something, anything, otherwise I may start thinking this is just a scam and that you are just trying to keep people around busy, trying to look like you are involved, while you actually are clueless, and don't really care about the users.

    Personnally I am more interested into the technology itself (the level editor + Battle.net) that the game, so maybe it's too early to ask such questions, I don't know, but as you look like to really be into that project, I would appreciate some pieces of information about my questions if you have them. If you don't, no problem, but I may consider other sites when I will be looking for updates about this game then...

    Jisse, could you please point me to the questions you asked?

    I've tried to answer every question posted in the question thread but it's possible I missed some. If I overlooked them I apologize...

    I just don't know what you're talking about. ;) Post a link and I'll get to them.

    Erf sorry,

    please find them below:
    I agree that those questions may be really technical, and that there is a good probability that nobody actually really know at the moment a part of the pieces of information I would like to know, but when I read "a place where you can ask all sorts of questions pertaining to StarcCraft2!", I was like "woohoo! at last I will know if this game engine will really rock or not!", and that finally turned out to be pretty disappointing... :(

    Jisse, I still don't see the questions that you are asking.

    I understand that your questions might be technical but I can do my best to answer them.

    But I still don't know what your questions are.
