Protoss Mothership!

Well, the Reapers seem underpowered to me.....That many Vultures would have utterly annihalated that many Dragoons.

 

That's a good point. In the end, what the Mothership boils down to is a spellcasting unit. We need Carriers for sheer mindless and destructive reasons.

 

okay they already took dragoons away to put up some decent replacements im okay with that. but seirously, they shouldn't take away more than 2 units, i mean they were boasting so much bout just "adding so many new units" they said they would only take few away, seriously this should be mroe bout expanding, not taking away so many popular original concepts. If blizzard takes away carriers, they're retarded cuz carriers are the main icon of Protoss air supremecy, and nothing can replace it in my mind, not even the mothership (and u can only have one ne wayz.)

 

Blizzard actually expected that fans wanted to see a whole group of new units.....because they didn't want to create an impression that starcraft 2 is merely starcraft 1 with better graphics

 

eh, that thing with the overload does plenty for the protoss' image of air battle ownage.

the mothership wont make up for it though, it's a figurehead, but the carrier was a powerful unit of war

 

i would never imagine that blizzard would give one particular unit so much power
i suppose the storyline would say: the protoss realised the carrier technology is out of date so they unleashed the mothership

 

Are you all sure the Carrier has been removed?

 

I cannot jump to a conclusion now, but so far all the pics and trailers i've seen has no carriers in it

on the other hand, every protoss player can only have max of 1 mothership at any time, so it doesn't make sense to remove the carrier, or they are working on having the carrier replaced by a new unit

 

i hope u can mc mother ships although i like the mothership better i think the carriers were a better ground distraction (reavers under carriers=gg) XD if u dont get the ground distraction then u were never carrier-reaver massed u can never click the reavers under them u'd just hit an interceptor or a carrier XD

 

Exactly. I'm personally excited about using new units and finding new ways to do battle. I don't want a StarCraft1 update.

And with three new air units, to give the Protoss the Carriers on top of the Phoenix, Mothership and jebus I can NEVER remember the third air units name, would make them ridiculously strong in the air. They'd have to give Terran and Zerg huge boosts in the air to make it a balanced game.

 

I think the Battlecruiser's had weaker firepower but shorter cooldown time. Six of one half a dozen of the other as they say!

 

Dammit, I want the Battlecruiser strong, with slow cooldowns and a little area effect for Yamato.

 

Well, the Protoss have always had air superiority, even in the first. The Zerg were always best on ambush, especially with the addition of the Lurker, and Terrans have always just been a mix. If they do include the carrier, it really wouldn't unbalance anything in the Protoss's favor. It'd just be pretty much the same.



Oh, and they're called Warp Rays/

 

has anyone else noticed that the mothership looks ALOT like the nexus. I reckon you will have to upgrade it to a mothership, like with necrons in dark crusade lol. This would make it a very late game unit, even more if there are several nexus upgrades to get it into a mothership.

also did any1 notice the reaver(0.45) and high templar(1.27) in the artwork vid

 

To me, the mothership looks more like a turtle

 

A turtle ready to unleash all Hell on its enemies...

 

I think of it a some kind of floating city, in a bubble, like Atlantis...

ZOMG!!!

 

I hope the reaver and templar in the artwork vid mean that they will be in sc2! I love reavers

 

The skylab or the Mothership as we know..is a new and special unit of the protoss..nuf said..BTW it doesnt OWN!

 

No, he said they gave it more energy so they could showcase it's final ability, the Black Hole.
