Thor Drop

Do you mean to transport the Colossus? Wasn´t it somewhere mentioned that the Colossus can´t be Transported?

 

Not transported. Teleported! Like in Recall!

 

Recall might not come back. Why are we talking about the Colossus now?

Lol, this is kinda retarded, but maybe the Thor and the Colossus could walk in water. Maybe not the Thor, but the Colossus looks maybe big enough.

 

There is no water in space silly! Then Collosus would still be stuck on Space platforms!

 

O yeah, forgot about space platforms. Then they'll probably be stuck. I wonder how long the Thor artillery strike range is. If it was long enough I'd just stay at home and do Comsat + Artillery strike on my enemy's base. Wow, that's never going to happen. Maybe someone should do something like that in the map editor or something.

 

I didnt say the range should be enough to shoot from one side of the map to another! I meant like 1.5 of the siege tank range.

 

Lol, I was just speculating what would happen if it did.

 

There's really no reason for the thor not to fit in a dropship. it's massive, so it should take up the whole space. And this wouldn't make it incredibly powerful, because you could lose the very expensive thor if the dropship goes down.

And i'm fairly certain salvage is something all terran buildings have, kinda like liftoff, not a unit's ability. Thor having it would be pretty cool though, and an excellent alternative to loading it in a dropship.

 

I can imagine the Thor having Salvage but Fitting it into a Dropship would be silly. Salvage is only available on static defenses (and addons) to support Terran mobility, 100% return for EVERYTHING would be quite... hard to balance.

 

Lol. I just got a funny idea. If you made a map with only platforms and you only get one thor on a random platform and if you did the same with your oponent. You could play battleships!! That would be neat lol.

 

Why not have two drop ships attach onto the thor and give it flight but the thor wont be able to use its weapons.

 

so do they just stare at each other

 

I just hope Thors could be of use on any map. On an island map, I think Thors will be a good defense, if coupled with some sensor/radar domes and missile turrets.

 

I hope they will scrap the Thor...
First of all, it looks too much like transformers, and it would be almost impossible to micro in a battle.
I just dont like it..

 

The Thor may not be microintensive when played with but most likely quite hard to play against. Remember that in a game of SC2 both Players are supposed to have fun.

 

Instead of the Thor, a really really really big tank would look cooler. I dont get why Terran only have ONE tank. They should have atleast 2. tanks are cool

 

are so many tanks really necessary? hey, why not bring in the reaver? We don't need another seige ground unit. All these roles are already filled and having another tank is useless.

 

The terran don't actually have a 'tank' unit. The Siege tank sucks if used as a tank, it's only good in the role as long range artillery. The terran pretty much lack a ground unit with high enough hp to survive head on fights. Thats why a good proportion of their strategy is slowly pushing forward with siege tanks.

Thor pretty much is the only terran 'tank.' It fills that gap well, and if it is scrapped, terran will lose a significant portion of its ground strength.

 

So, replace it with a huge tank! The Thor was in the beginning actually gonna be a tank, but they prefered the Thor for som reason, and instead used the Thor-tank design to re-design the siege tank.
Still, Terran dont have a "real tank". "Are so many tanks necessary?" Seriously, is the number 2 too much or what?
Why not ask the question "are so many walking robots necessary?"
hmm lets see, we have the Stalker, The Collossus, The Viking, the Thor and the Immortal.
I insist that more tanks should be in the game.

 

Thor Drop = Drop the thor during flight from a dropship ^_^ literally....
is the siege mode of thors able to fire air units?? maybe it would be useful if something is like that..
