Protoss Mothership!

heres the top 10 things that will own the mothership

1. Yamoto
2. Plague
3. Feedback
4. Emp
5. Lockdown
6. Nuke
7. Ensare
8. Scourges
9. Cloaked Wraiths
10. MIND CONTROL!!!!!

id rather just make a whole bunch of other units. the mothership is to much of a liability.

 

So if there is mind control in SC2 and you mind control a mothership while you already have a mothership does this allow you to get two motherships or does the violation of the second rule of motherships (being that you may only have one mothership) cause a rift in space time and suck the second mothership into a black hole? This being said, I would love to see two motherships black hole each other. Or perhaps the mothership is resistant to mind control... cause its just so homely. Or because there are so many people on the mothership, you would not be able to mind control them all and so the ship explodes as the mind controlled half of the people and the non-mind controlled half fight to the death.

 

We already have this same topic under units.

 

i dont think most of those would work...it would just make the mothership useless.

 

Won't work:

5. Lockdown
10. MIND CONTROL!!!!!

And:
9. Cloaked Wraiths
Man, you're really stupid if you send out your mothership without a few observers, nobody does that, and you could have thought about that yourself...

 

ok i replace cloaked wraiths with malestrom

how do you know lockdown wont work? It is mechinical

 

Because its a superunit, would be too cheap too just lock it down.

 

right, if the toss haven't had a way to counter lockdown in the 4 years between SC1&2, they are idiots.

 

And if the Terrans didn't develop a better lockdown, they are idiots. And if they just decided to stop using it one day, they are even bigger idiots. As ghosts are in it, some form of lockdown must be as well.
While they are clearly trying to make a whole new game, they are also trying to make the story flow well. The units help tell the story. Having a unit or ability just disappear for no reason would break the flow of the story and so that would not be good for them.

Look at the transition of WarCraft 2 to 3, every unit from 2 is in 3 except for the sea units in some form. A few are mercenaries but they are there none the less.

 

you know, we really dont know enough about the mothership to say that it's a waste. for all we know, it might cost like 3 times more then the old carriers

 

well, this ship straight out wrecks with full energy, but the cost of it's abilities are ENORMOUS!!!!!!! if there some magical energy-regaining units apart from cheats, mothership would own

 

am i the only one who finds your posts really annoying?

i dont see how a ghost could lock down a full mothership tbh
and it seems silly to just send it in alone, or be able to freeze it and things like that
its not a god unit (googo remy) it needs support, any other way and it woudnt be starcraft
in the demo we just got to see its abilities, that wasnt anything like how the game will be played, no where close.

 

It would make sense for a lockdown to work on a mothership. The key here is to defend the mothership with surrounding units. Like high templar's hallucination, etc, etc. Your right, I think spending the resources on ground units would worth more than the mothership.

 

Am i the only one thinking dark swarm?

Besides if your mothership is in real danger, just statsi field it and call for backup?

 

The mothership may end up just being a waste, but it could also be a perfect support unit for ground troops!

 

My first post here but it would be cool if you hallucinate the mothership, have like 5 charging in their base, creates sort of a comfusion i would think. <never mind they would figure you can only 1> Still an emp+lockdown would suck cause then you wasted alot of money for nothing....maybe muti lock downs but i dont see how that can work

 

The mothership is probably just going to end up being classifyed as a building or something. We can only have one of them and it sounds way too easy to just lock it down or mc it.

 

I agree with you completely, i hadn't thought of mind control, awsome.

 

Maybe the mothership would have immunity to specific effects, Making it harder to beat. And besides, were still not sure lockdown or wateva will come back

 

Well, for now I honsetly wont be building a mothership in bn anytime soon after the release of SC2 lol.
