    As far as I know the only thing known about it so far is that it comes from the Starport is an air fighter and has no ground attack.

    Also makes sense because since the Starport can produce while lifted off, the addition of a air fighter to be produced along with the banshee from it etc, will make it a viable assualt platform.

    If any mod could close this topic for me. I'd appreciate it. Since we now know theres no Wraith, nor a possibility of getting one (unless it's like an extra unit in the map editor) not much point in having a topic.

    DO you think the much respected terran should return?? I think the terrans are sort of lacking that kind of air to air fighter.. somehow the viking sky form dosent seem to be enough to counter air. Please vote and discuss. :)

    well it is being split between the preditor and the banshee at the moment so I like it being replaced by other units.

    The predator is a AA only fighter with an attack similar to the corsairs but slower and it has ability to transfrom into an intercept form (the predator cant attack while in this form) that probally (i dont think anyone knows exactly how it works) can intercept only a certain number of projectiles (not just missles) per second.


    As for the topic atm i voted no because the terrans have no sole air to air unit the units they do have are ambiguoes enough to slow down/stop air attacks while still doing something else.

    lol wraiths arent suppose to return coz thats one of the former weaklinks for the terran back then for support with the BCs so now they build the new Predator (ATA) + interceptor ability turning into somekind of defensive unit protecting a certain area or radius base on what ive read on some site and Banshee = cloak + good air to ground atk for raiding.... Vikings are the new wraith type missile atkers if im not mistaken... ;D

    I liked the Wraith but it was one of those units that just seemed... I dunno, sorta boring after a while? I dunno if that makes any sense. They were just kinda too weak for me unless u'r doing the sneak surprise attack thing, especially on miners. Banshee should do that wonderfully, and Predator sounds like it'll be pretty sweet in its own way. I prefer the additional roles offered by these two new units as opposed to just the one wraith, who also happens to absolutely suck at ground attacks. So yea, I'm willing to let it go IMO.

    i wish the wraith would return but it's not going to be very usefull. the viking has it's anti air and the banshee has it's cloak. it'll be fun to play him in the map maker tho.

    IMO the wraith wasn't that useful, and especially so now. They have viking, banshee, battlecruiser, and predator. The wraith would be a waste.

    i dont see how the predator and the vicking can exist in the same army.
    dont they both do the same thing?
    i would really like to see the predator becuase if its got a better model than the banshee (which i reallly like) then i would rather the banshee have the predator model and get rid of terrans having so much AA
