Thor Drop

i always thought why couldn't they add booster rockets to the thor like they do to the buildings... i mean it basicly is a building.

 

The thor is also at the end of the Terran family tree so it is usually hardest to get to so some pros might not even use them.

 

they should be lifted by dropships but take up the whole space as in the WHOLE space

other wise, they shouldnt be flying because thats ridicously cheap

 

That wouldn't make sense as I said before. If it was too big to fit in a factory it can't fit into something smaller.

 

Give em lift off boosters and a really shitty flight speed. They probably wouldn't work for the OP's strategey then but they could at least get over empty space or cliffs.

 

It's better than nothing. But if it's too slow, people still won't use it. They will opt for siege tanks, and than you get the same result. So it should fly at least as fast as the barracks. Maybe faster.

I still like drop ships though. Just cut the drop ship speed down a *little*, take up the whole space, and problem solved. And by the way, it's not to big to fit in a factory, it's too big to be made in a factory. There is a difference. And I have yet to hear anyone state the fact that science vessels/command centers can fit goliaths in them, yet are only a little bigger than siege tanks.

Realism isn't the problem, balance is.

 

maybe the drop ship can have a ability to group with another drop ship and out side both they can attach cables to the thor and lift

being serios now why couldn't you deconstruct the thor or pack it up into that box again kida like a trebuchet in age of empires and then the drop ships could carry that.

 

Yeah, I thought of all that stuff too. I was thinking about the box packing the lift off and the cabbles.. Alot of people already mentioned all that stuff yet somehow we mannage to stop talking about random stuff.
Edit: Oh yeah, and just sending SCVs to your enemy's base and building it there but we know that they won't just watch your SCVs build your thors.

 

i think they should just make the dropship bigger and more expensive. like a double or tripple dropship. then it would work...

 

it is quite balanced that the Thor can't drop because if you watch the Terran faction video the Thor used the artillery once to destroy the Planetary Fortress

 

Not a good idea, Thor was meant to assault a base from the front.

and it looks kinda weak when it's alone anyway. and over that, it's not like something that can take out all the workers really fast.. and that's what a drop is all about.

 

well i think it will suck pritty hard when your thor is stuck on an island after an assalt.

 

Yeah, it could be like an upgrade. Like it is like bigger and carry only one thor. It doesn't even have to be inside the dropship. There should be some form of transportation for it like on island games. It's bad enough that colosuses can't be transported. But now the thor? It is supposed to be some kind of superunit...

 

no the thor is not a super unit. its just a heavey hitter like the colossus, just a bit more heavey.

 

yeah, but you could call it the terran superunit based on the fact that it has the most hp 700 and prolly a high damage, and costs a shitload of money. (the most expensive unit is a "superunit" in my eyes)

 

Isn't it?

 

well, I dont think a superunit is a unit you only can have one of, ultimate units are the loners.
superunit means its the last in the tech tree/most expensive unit you build.

 

Super is a synonym for ultimate lol.

 

may be, but it is still not the same word

 

Super means above, ultimate means final. Neither says anything about how many there can be.
