Sniped scvs

I found out, well i always knew, that scvs could get healed by medics and repaired by there own scvs. I also found out from the screenshot ,in this website, that they are Fleshy-Mechanical-hover. The new ghost ability is being able to take down biological units.

Is the scv capable of getting sniped?

They are fleshy and can get healed by medics. But they are also capable of getting lockeddown and also deemed mechanical.
??? :sleeping:

 

if so then i see a wonderful new harass ability screw the nuke sniping sounds like loads more fun on enemy expansions .

 

meh want to transport a bunch of ghosts to the cliff behind a enemy base, use a flare from a medic, and snipe all of the SCV's at once!!!

 

I would do that
I love killing innocent workers

 

thats why auto-cast is nub, you woulnd't get am all without auto-cast

 

I also wonder if the ghost snipe ability has enhanced ranged.
It could be a terran reaver or colssus, taking out loads more scvs and more...

 

@Zergalicious (and perhaps everyone else).
The snipe ability is not needed for this. The Ghost's basic attack does 5 base damage + 30 damage against light, and all worker units will undoubtedly be light armored. Workers will die in just two shots, and I think (not entirely sure) the SC2 Ghost has a range of 10 (Compare it to a SC1 Siege Tank's 11)

 

i dont like worker killings. =\

 

A very cool thought provoking post! Its posts like this that make the site worth reading. owerup:
on a side note,
gasmaskguy I don't believe the ghosts range will be that long. Maybee on a snipe, but not a normal attack. still an interesting point though.

 

Thanx soo much!
;D ^_^
Thats probably the greatest compliment i got
LOL XD

Do you think there will come Ghost harass (with cloak like DT harass)?
It will be at the same tech tree as DT´s

 

I think that it will be even more effective. DT's kill workers with only one swipe, but they are melee and all you need is detection and a crappy unit or two. The Ghost can stay out of trouble and survive longer while putting pressure on the opponent.

In addition to that; abilities. Calling down a Drop Pod at the same time would be nasty.

 

I'd rather snipe furrer instead of wasting it on workers
i joke

Snipe will definitly be interesting; while the enemy is going crazy with 500 apm and shit you could just sit there sniping the expensive units.
Snipe will defnitly annoy me >;]

 

It wont work, im not bio, im mech...
(furrer uses the hero Tinker from wc3´s ultimate)

 

my new question is can it attack probes? and my bet is on the no because it cant be infested with the queens ability that makes 2 little units by killing a biological one.

 

The Ghost can in fact deal the additional 30 damage vs probes. The factor is wether or not the target is light or armored, not biological or mechanical.

 

I'm guessing light armor will be:

SCV
Marine
Medic
Reaper
Maurader?
Ghost

Probe
Zealot
Dark Templar
High Templar
Nullifier?

Drone
Zergling
Baneling? (will probably have thicker armor)
Hydralisk

 

meh want to snipe a ling!

 

That 0.1 second were the Templars are merging into one I shoot and maybe it'll kill em both >;]

Two Templars with one stone.
