What do you think this is?

Hm.

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

nomand's ability, a turret I think

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

karune already said it is a deployable turret from the nomad

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

WTF? Deployable turret?? Since when?

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

really? Thats news to me, care to put the link?

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

The turrets are dropped by the Nomad (using energy), acting as decent defenses, and even better harassment, if used by a skilled player.

You have it here: http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/index.php?topic=4374.0

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

yeah, i saw your post after i made this one though.

Hm, i wonder what are some of the numbers on those towers and if they are on a timer or permanent.

The nomad might be that engineering unit i was thinking about, repairing, deploying turrets easier than SCVs, interesting.

I guess he's not a Science vessel after all, rather a battle SCV(repairs turrets etc)

Is the turret ability going to replace the EMP, since that is on the ghost right now?

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

Hey, I wouldn't want a Flying Troll Hero for a unit! lol Dropping summons sucks. They should give the Nomad something else. Or rather kick it from the game and bring back Science Vessel.

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

That's what the Q&A says.

I personally like this idea. I just hope they do it right.

If there's no time limit a turtler could just slowly build up like a hundred of those for defense without costing any resources.

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

True, maybe it will have a certain limit per Nomad? Like 3-4 or w/e they think is fair, past that any new turrent will replace the oldest one.

I like the nomad, its more of a mechanical support unit and engineer than a caster unit(still has abilities but i hope you get what i mean)

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

The Nomads themselves cost resources(duh), so massing those turrets will still cost, and I bet that those aren't as effective as bunkers etc, so it's far from imba. (You have to wait for the energy to regen too)

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

Trading it for the Irradiate back would make a good combo with Snipe.

Snipe + Irradiate = Terrans have a fair chance against Zerg, lol!

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

lol?

Terrans should on average beat zerg more than zerg terran

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

the nomad looks UGLY.

 

Re: Whats do you think this is?

i dont know man, it kinda grew on me, if you zoom really close on it, it has 2 levels , lights, and a very solid metal look, and gadgets that help other machines...like a flying engineering bay if you will.

 

^ ure kinda right bro...but...i still dont like it...but yes...it will grow on us...

maybe they can put some long guns at the front of the nomad to make it look like its gna repair and use those gunds for ...wateva

 

nah i think its fine without guns imo

 

I think that moving the EMP to Ghost is a way to make Terran more fit to counter Protoss in a flexible way. However, I don't see the point of Nomads without EMP. Actually, how are Ghots gonna EMP air enemies fighting away from the coast? This change ends up increasing the effectiveness of Protoss air vs. Terrans.

What has Terran air got so far? Vikings (counter able by Phoenixes), BCs (counter able by Warp-rays), and Nomads as support/healing. How is this going to counter protoss air? (without Nomad with EMP)

 

I like the nomads ability to produce turrets, but I also agree that the EMP should be moved back to the nomad, it would make it more useful in combat, and the ghost has too many abilities with only 250 energy to use.

 

Battlecruisers > yamato gun > warp rays > proceed to normal attack kill the phoenix, or vikings get in, pheonix overpowers, vikings land or move back, than they come back and proceed to kill.

Also, you can nomads healing both BC and vikings.
