    Come on as people have already said. Its power costs make up for a serious lack of movement. And the reason that they are created from SCV's is so they can be created anywhere on the battlefield. And its up to the player to create them so they should really make it in a good location, or just not include them in their desired army for an island map. With all this heavy reliance on a thor i think a lot of people will either find a lot of dissappointment or a lot of rethinking to do.

    Best part of this is players can get them build outside of enemy base and get destroyed before completion.

    or you can conceal it outside of someones base or protect it with you other units. I dont think you would just let those resources go to waste without defending it

    what's that one phrase? 'hook, bait, and sinker' right? a thor in production would be the perfect bait for dropships with siege tanks and drop pods

    Are you able to cancel the construction of a thor after you begin building? If so the small cost of an scv would be the perfect bait for dropships etc. hmm very interesting

    (O and i dont know about the cost of droppods or energy. Id say it would be minerals/vespene though)

    Thats pretty decent then. You get re-enforcements anywhere on the ground at the normal cost of producing them by factory. I could also just see them being produced at my base just because it looks soo much quicker then going through a barracks

    spamming drop pods would looks soo cool. It might be hard though if there are units running around on screen blocking landing zones though

    What would be better is nothing can block the landing zone but if any unit gets under the drop pod it takes damage now if you drop it on a building or air unit the marines would fall to their deaths but otherwise it would work

    Yeh. If i play zerg against terran and drop pods have to be on clear ground the best bet is spamming lings all over my base to prevent that
