Protoss Mothership!

huuuummmm
in ''real Starcraft'' (don't know how to say it) not game-wise.

(yeah I have no clue what on scale/off scale mean)

 

off scale is in-game

On scale is on Starcraft: Ghost, which is basically "real" starcraft (I know its not released but ive seen Screenies)

 

Ah ok, but yeah I was talking about on scale
Let's hope SC2 becomes realllly popular and they decide to re-do SC:Ghost ;D

 

Agreed! I love how SC plays, but I've always wanted to see a BC or Carrier (or MS now) in all their grandeur and majesty covering an entire field of battle. Similar to the Aleksander in Brood War's opening cinematic.

 

I'd make a pretty render for you of that by I no longer have my rendering software. And it would take a long time and I would get little to no satisfaction from it.

 

all in all i think that we can agree that the protoss mother ship is awsome and looks like a turtle ready 2 unleash hell upon its enemies :thumbup:

 

The Mothership is aesthetically and abilities are pleasing but you will have to micro the crap out of them to avoid wasting all that time and resources.

If it can be worth defending and do enough attack damage, I'd give it a few chances to step up to bat in melee games.

 

Maybe ONE Protoss player can have 8 motherships...

This can be when a dark archon[when they are in sc II too] can control a mothership with "mind control"..????

I hope the dark archon and mind control is in starcraft II too^^

But i think thats would be too good

 

eh it seems like the Twilight Archon is gonna replace the Dark and Regular Archon.

but that's just speculation

 

I thjink the twilight archons replace the normal archon

 

The mothership doesnt really impress me that much unless they make it invulnerable to a couple of abilites like EMP, lockdown, mindcontrol, etc.

As I previously mentioned blizz is most likely going to make the MS a building-type so that the above mentioned abilities wont work on it.

Btw, mind control might of been wiped due to this "twilight archon" and its currently unknown skills.

 

I dont think the mothership is so strong

 

It wont be very strong IF it is vulnerable to said abilities, if it isnt, hang on, because dealing over 1000 hp worth of dmg to it AND keeping your units alive will be a bumpy ride.

 

they've basically just made a cool spellcaster that has abilities that are so cool they didn't want someone to be able to make a bunch of them. it's not going to be the end all be all super attack ship of the protoss fleet. it is a souped up arbiter with offensive and defensive abilities. i doubt it will be extremely expensive and i doubt it will take an incredibly long time to make.

 

pshhh to mothership

nothing a couple thousand scourges cant kill. ;D

 

if they can reach the mothership!

 

yeah that's interesting, they didn't show the time bomb when units tried to go inside

although I'm sure it would be the same as lockdown in that they just freeze there

 

they probably just go slow but not freeze. otherwise time bomb then planet cracker and the enemy things can't escape and are completely destroyed

 

i think time bomb can only freeze missle projectiles and that's when it gets like almost near the mother ship. But if units were under it they would slow down in attack speed and whatnot. Do you think that bullets from marines or psi particles from stalkers or acid shard thingies would also stop? That would be... odd.

 

um it's already been stated (by blizzard and many times in this thread) that time bomb stops all incoming projectiles. Missiles, acid, bullets, energy particles, everything.
