    I dont seem to be able to build several terran units (Goliaths and Science Vessels in particular). They dont show up as grey in the factory or starport. I've beaten the game on Hard, so I can't imagine anything is locked. I'm only playing some basic skirmishes vs the AI, so maybe I need to play a real multi player game?

    Thanks.

    Certain units are only available in single player, not in multiplayer. Goliaths and science vessels are on that list. Sorry, it kinda sucks but if you get into competitive multiplayer you'll see why it's for the best.

    I would rather they have kept a few units and maybe given extra units to the other races as well. It feels like terran is just missing a few pieces without medics and goliaths, and zerg with no lurkers is just kind of wrong.

    Just my two cents, but I think Blizzard should have left them in.

    It was great to see starcraft 1 units in singleplayer, but yeah... they can't give it to multiplayer. it's hard enough balancing 11 combat units for multiplayer, adding more would make terran overpowered.

    The sci vessel and the goliath and even the turret on the bunkers should be in the multi... On the same note the Hybrid Reaver and the Brutalisk should be in and whatever other units they are holding back

    Yes because the Hybrid Reaver can be warped by warp gate, or spawned in a hatchery hmmmm?
    Also: Because zerg is just about high-tech fancy, massively-powered units hmmm?

    Now, They should have kept goliaths, medics, dark archons, reavers, lurkers, scouts, and wraiths JUST because they have absolutely NO LORE of why they are taken out.

    Less units=more balance. The game is great right now, I'd be horrified to see them add more units, go dforbid the hybrid or brutalisk. Those kind of things just cater to the DoW and CoH fans who will play this game for 4 months just for the spectacle and then drop it. :(
