The mothership is back to being a superunit again, but still no info on whether or not were getting the black hole back or not.

 

Re: Mothership Combo?

w00t! Super unit MS ftw. Nice to hear the Zerg are being worked on so intensely.

 

This just seemed like it deserved its own topic, outstanding find.

 

I LOL'd

 

Does this mean they are putting in the version of the planet cracker that can actually kill worker units? The one they show on the SC2 webpage is more lightshow than death dealer

 

A single Mothership, *sigh* that is just ahhhhh... Just make it expensive and increase its supply cost greatly so its fits into actual Starcraft game play. ''A single Mothership at a time...'' does not seem very Starcraft, also causes problems for custom maps. Also if the supply is something small like 8 for a unit as powerful as the Mothership its overpowered as you can still build a large army along with the Mothership; increasing it's supply cost means you have this one powerful unit as the cost of having a smaller army which makes sense and balances the issue of op ._.

Nice find tho.

 

Single unit limitation != Super unit.

To be a "Super" unit it would need a clear advantage over all other units, i. e. cost less than justified by it´s skills etc....
Single unit simply means that it get´s skills that are fine if unique but imba if available on several units. The single unit limitation is no less arbitary than the 200 supply cap so I don´t see a problem there.

 

I love how Cavez played that because calling it a super unit in the first place is what got blizzard in troubble lol.  Zergalicous what in the hell gives you the right to say what is or is not Starcraft? How in the world do you have some god given right to say what a Game more than its developers or the general populace of its fans? I expect a damn good answer from you and everyone else who feels the need to say what is or isn't a game, everyone who can't provide one needs to shut the hell up.

 

I jut think they need to make it good in all matchups, and a unit that you dont need, but dont make you army to good if you add it.

 

Calm down? It was an opinion, I am entitled to one right?

And like I said, since the supply cost won't be high you don't suffice for the Mothership meaning yon can still create a large army, and its pretty plain to see that huge army+Mothership=win
I'd prefer if they gave it a very very high supply cost meaning you give up the chance to create a large army and you can have a smaller potent army including the Mothership which I think would kill any imbalance issues that could come up and it also gives players choice of army customization.

 

Im just fearing that it will end like WC3. Like you need to micro you MS like a hero to win with protoss.

 

I think it's great to have Mothership as a super unit.
I really like it that way. :good:

 

I think its a great to have a MS as a super unit again, masses of them seems to be too powerful and strong and odd

 

Oh thank the gods. Blizzard my faith has been restored!!!

 

but how about in the campaing or lore. do you want only a single mothership? i want fleets of mothership in the lore not only one coz it would suck and not make sense.

 

According to the official Starcraft 2 website, there are multiple Motherships around, so I wouldn't worry about that. Blizzard is making it so that a player can have only one at a time A) for balance reasons and B) for further Protoss uniqueness.

 

But only one mothership per battlefield.

 

lol thanks for making its own topic, i figured with all the mothership ones i would just post in it there.

 

As long as there are multiple Protoss players, there can be multiple MS´s, mmmkay?

 

Finally, someone who is on the same track as me.

And on the balance things I kinda speculated/give my opinion on that, care to right or wrong me?
