New Terran Building

Here is a building that was in the IGN screenshots. It could possibly be a building that increases the sight range and/or a cheap detector with a long sight range because it seems somewhat radarish and is next to a missile turret in the picture.

 

it could also be somekind of technology research building, but if it were like a sentry building that would be cool, maybe it could have a nice sight range and replace the comsat as a stand alone building.

 

It could still be virtually anything since it doesn't look like anything we've seen yet. To me it looks more like a Missile Silo than anything.

 

kind of like a silo torned into an upwards comsat station?

 

Looks like a nuke silo that doesn't require an entire command center to build. I'm guessing that StarCraft II is going to have a large area of effect spell of death for each race - the nuke is the terran's mothership.

Let's face it, nukes were kind of rare in SC I - mostly because of the requirement of another CC and the loss of a valuable comsat spot. Stand alone silos might make nukes more prevalent, as well as make ghosts more useful against the Zerg.

 

Looks like a f-in mineral farming silo like the one in C&C 3 ick.

Could be a range modifier or a radar. Who knows.

 

I don't think it looks like a silo at all.

 

Na, id say it could be the new academy, but who knows? Maybe a stationary detector?

 

maybe a new comsat thing? It could be it, or possibly a nuclear silo.

 

I dont think it is a nuclear silo, silos are normally underground and barely expose the top bits. If it is an "observatory" with detectionskills and superior sight range. It would make sense to place them near siege tanks as spotters.

Although now that I look at it again it does look like the core of it is a missile of sorts.

 

I think its a long range scanner sort of thing

 

Looks like a mad wizard's tower with radar capability.

 

What if now terrans get intercontinental ballistic missiles too?

 

they would be the nukes...

 

Yeah, that would be more probable but I dont like the idea of the nuke being exposed like that. Also, being albe to build nuke silos without the need of them being attacked to a CC seems a LITTLE overpowered.

 

maybe its an addon. Like the picture where the terran barracks has some addon...added onto it. Sooo maybe the building it was connected to moved. Like a stargate or something.

 

Thats a possibility.

 

i dont think it would be an add-on because its too big to be one.

 

i mean intercontinental ballistic missiles would be the nukes that are already in starcraft.
I am quite sure that that is not a nuclear silo or any other silo.

 

The protoss have a new spire as well. I bet its an upgrade building. maybe for a new mechanic the terrans have
It could also be comsat or a scout tower (lame) or maybe its a new defensive structure like a tesla coil
