    wow... Finally something new.... I was waiting to find news today because you know, last time I found something new was the Terran gameplay video and the bad memories about what happened with the SC ghost came to me again he he... But battlecruisers are here,,, improved with the plasma thing and it brings something to my mind... According with the things that happened before Terran were revealed, it seems to me that zergs are arriving soon. It's my way to see thing right now he he but everything can happen now

    Hold on... What? Hercules and Minotaur class ships? Most likely slightly different versions of the bc that we will never see in game but still, what are they?

    Probably the names of the battlecruisers after upgraded - my guess is that Hercules BC is the one with the Yamato gun and Minotaur BC is the one with Plasma torpedoes.

    I do agree with putaljak,though.There must be some name for upgraded BC ships and it gave us excatly two names the Hercules and the Minotaur which might just be it.concluded?

    Finally, a new unit !!! The battlecruiser ! Really I thought Blizzard would just give us the description of the supply depot ! But the ultimate battlecruiser !! WOW !

    I really like the effect when the battlecruiser uses his Yamato laser ! The hammer moves back after the shot !

    Thank you !

    The new tileset really kicks major ass. The Terrans are looking grittier then ever. BattleCruisers were like my favorite unit in the SC universe. It was sad that they were rarely used.

    BattleCruisers with their new plasma torpedo looks like they will be a lot more useful. Not only that, their passive attack makes them look like a true captial ship.

    Of course thanks to the plasma torpedo now we will use the battlecruiser more time against infantry.
