Science Vessels

Science Vessels are absolute rape machines. They're really good at increasing the killing power of the units they are supporting. Defensive Matrix will double or triple pretty much any unit's life span, EMP Shockwave is a must against shield-heavy Archons or large groups of Carriers, and Irradiate never fails to scare the crap out of Zerg players(if they aren't scared, they're clearly insane). On several occasions I have successfully killed over 20 units, Mutalisks usually, with one Irradiate, and this is fighting players that should otherwise know better than to clump their units like that.

 

science vessels definitely are valuable machines...........they are also terran's only unit detector

on the contray, a zerg queen can easily take out a seige tank with spawn broodlings

 

I love Spawn Broodlings, I use it to nail High Templar, but it is such an expensive move, it takes a long time for it to pay off unless you're making a lot of Queens.

 

that is true it cost 150 energy....

sometimes i use the cheat "the gathering" and literally destroyed my terran opponent's entire base just using queens and broodlings.................its heaps fun

 

Science vessels are freaking amazing units, I always try to use them. Defensive matrix ftw ;D

 

Science Vessels are my bane. Besides Lockdown I mean.

I'll be pwning with my Dark Templars, then a Vessel floats along.....Ugh.

I respect them though. And orphean's right. Defensive Matrix is freaking awesome.

 

I feel so dumb, I never use science vessels' special abilities... Usually I don't even get them. :O

 

Science vessels do rape emp kills shields iridiade organic swarms and matrix defense makes you almost indestructible.

 

Science Vessels just continue the line of Terran Advantages against Protoss. It's an Archon killer for sure.

 

^ yes its truly an archon killer...........it also sends high templar virtually useless for a period of time

and blizzard balanced out the EMP with feedback of the dark archon!!!

 

Ah the Dark Archon^^

My favorite of all units^^

(especially if u use "the gathering"^^)

 

Haha ;D Mindcontrolling entire armies! funny as hell!

 

plus mindcontrolling a drone or a SCV and build the entire tech tree of those races!!

 

Science vessels' emp shockwave is too overpowered imo. You can make all spellcasters useless with one move!

 

yeah, but then the dark archon can kill spell casters in one move!!

 

Feedback only uses 50 energy. So a dark archon could zap multiple spellcasters in just a few seconds.

 

yes i always wondered why my fleet of battlecrusiers just disappeared
the feedback is powerful indeed

 

What does Zerg have like that?

Anyway, call me a noob, but ... EMP shockwave works on shields too? And here I thought it was only good on err, whatsitcalled, energy, mana, oh you know what I mean...

 

No Zerg, the Dark Archon only.


And it's called "Psy" lol. Weird, innit? I always end up calling it mana, but that's because I started on WarCraft.

 

But I mean like the Dark Archon had feedback against spellcasters and the Science Vessel had EMP Shockwave... does Zerg have such a thing too?

Yea lol... Psy indeed, now I remember. It's harder to think about since it's not really used like that anywhere else, the word I mean.
