Terrans using protoss gear?

exactly... hmmm.... i wonder why the UED came with exile-level technology though...

why couldn't they have brought with them an arsenal of earth-level technologies..?

 

Because that would have required a new game

 

I hate Terran if ever they will used the Protoss gear mind their own gear!!! :-\

 

Protoss Technology is greatly based on Xel´Naga Artifacts aka Psi reacting Crystals, remember the Crystals are EVERYWHERE.
Terran Technology is "superior" in some cases as it is modular and can be repaired on the field. Also they are the most efficient damagewise (If I read Remys table right) wich means they get the most "Bang for their Buck", their Vehicles are often multipurpose units, they generally have a "secondary" role unlike the inflexible Protoss with their singlepurpose stuff (mostly).

They aren´t hamphered by Fanatism, for them it is Greed wich explains having Mercenary recruting buildings in a Military Base. Many complained about Shields for Marines arguing they aren´t footmen yet no one finds it strange that the most advanced race uses melee troops.

 

it would be cool if marines had personal shields, i bet unlike the previous editor, the new campaign editor will allow this feature this time

 

most people who read this thread obviously thought that by letting terrans use protoss technology, getting marines with psyonic blades was ment; i think the starter of this thread meant, that the protoss upgraded terran technology to their own lvl, like a marine with aa plasma empowered rifle, or a battlecruiser with more energy available.
remember, only in game the terrans could be stronger than the protoss, in storyline, the only battle the terrans won from the protoss was by planting a psi emmiter.

 

That would interfer with Terran "personality". People are already complaining about too many lasers.

 

i don't remember the protoss using lasers in sc1 though... just sc2... maybe the terrans and the protoss got there at the same time...

plus, humans have been using lasers for a long time now...

 

not lasers, they are firing plasma

 

StarWars had lasers =X
Humans can't just fire genades/missiles at enemy while in space so lasers is more logic than genades/missiles even though shooting lasers doesn't exist right now...
And I agree with with ijffdrie that most people that read the title of the topic and misunderstood that the whole meaning cause I know I did...

 

from my perspective there are 5 lines of technology, from wich 3 are used in starcraft:
magical
advanced medieval, like laserswords and high-tech arrows
genetical: zerg
plasmatic: protoss
projectilistic: terran

dont know if all these words exsist

 

projectilistic made me laugh owerup:

 

I must agree with him with the Terran too,they are the projectilistic race.
