    This is just a thought, but since they're both high and mighty why not scrap the two and make a whole new capital ship that would work out for the new game. I wanna talk about this because #1 carrier is an old unit and i thought were making something new here. #2 Mothership is a really nice unit. I kept wondering why it got it Nerf badly i mean i know it should be nerf on the black hole part but things like not able to attack air units. SO isn't it a good idea to fuse this two capital ships
    together and put a new abilities. maybe not interceptor maybe not the new spells but a new different thing. MS does not deserve to be a big ass arbiter. if they want a cloaking unit they should make another 1 of that as well.

    More to come i am thinking a capital ship that would scrap the two together and another to replace arbiter

    no no no, blizz already tried to make another capital ship.
    carrier is a must, but we will probably see a completely overhauled MS a couple more times

    It seems like given their inherently almighty abilities and status, merging the two is gonna just get you one incredibly powerful unit anyway you slice it. It might be possible but I don't think so. Not in the way that would preserve either ones original feel anyway.

    What COULD be done, however, is maybe have a carrier thing, with a type of interceptor, but still have a energy beam to kill off one enemy unit via massive damage MUCH like the very first video of SC1 where you just get a coupla hillbilly terrans floatin around space and out comes this gigantic ship that uses some kind of bright light beam to kill 'em. I never saw that in an actual game, so maybe that could be incorporated to accommodate what u'r talking about.

    I think they should leave the carrier alone for the most part instead focus on overhauling the mother ship. I want my super unit back

    i agree with Smokiehunter, keep the carrier pretty much the same and make the mother ship a super unit

    Well only then it would deserve the title of "mothership".

    nah, carrier should have something new. this is not starcraft 1 with good visuals and graphics. carriers if remain the same is a waste visually and the feel of playing it would be BORING. they should add something to the look and feel of the carrier plus new abilities and skills etc.

    maybe they should let people decide if they want interceptors or the melee of tempest (dunno their name) and that one type of ship has some disadvantages and advantages over the other such as choosing between bc yamato or multi lasers .........also i grew to like that anytime a mothership can blackhole my whole army cause it shows that i wasnt pay attention on my enemy and wasnt scouting enough or that i left the opponent alone for to long.......(also the morthership reminded me of the ships in the independence day movie )

    ....all in all i do agree with zeratul11 something needs to be new or game will get boring fast wc3 added 2 new races and a possible 5th was thought about.....since starcraft isnt going to add a new race and they keeping the types of units low so game can run smoother they should add different spells or skills

    You said it. Even the marine is different, so something had better change.

    Maybe different build-able interceptors? Think a fighter, a bomber, and a fighter/bomber. Maybe a fourth type that damages shields/energy. I would love to see that ^^.

    no no carriers dont need anything else
    and mothership should be what it was when it was shown in the gameplay

    carriers should be original

    give the carrier a planet cracker like it had in the opening starcraft cinematic.
    Then you have to decide whether you want to keep your carrier back and safer or move them up and employ the planet crackers.

    don't you mean 'hara kiri' ??? and i think they should probably scrap the mothership in my opinion since the both are strong and mighty

    never mind that it still bring about the same results a over powerd unit that would get nerfed yet again.

    No @ the topic title but giving you a chance to customize your Carriers would be nice.

    Melee Interceptors - You can build more but they don't do as much damage.
    Laser Interceptors - You build the classic 8 but they do more than melee.
