What is your favorite new Terran Unit/Building?

Star Base!!

The possibilities of that unit are endless!

and the SCV, while it has a new look is not in itself new (I know your probably JK!)

 

they axed the starbase

 

whan did they do that?

 

I think it was 2 or 3 Question&Answers ago.

 

ah, ok. I never read too much in those.

 

Atleast the ugly design ;D

 

Ugly? I don't think that. Some new designs would be nice, but I rate it adequate.

 

Adequate for just being a RTS unit, perhaps... But not for being a Blizzard unit.

 

The Thor again and again. I love the reaper too, but the Thor is the unit I expected from Starcraft 2 : A huge humanoid unit. Normally born by the resources of destroyed mechanical units and structures.

 

WhAt about those reapers and vikings?? i like thoses. And the Thor, even tho its roles currently over lap its so terren like!

 

im not sure what some of that stuff is ><

 

The Thor gets my vote

 

Cobra is by far the most underrated new unit in my opinion.

 

That's probably because it was changed and we haven't seen it since then..

 

And its role is nothing like what we are used to in SC1. We don't have an attachment or can foresee our fun moments using it, like the rest. Reapers are new, but they're like dropping units without drop-pods inconvenience. It is easy to imagine how fun it will be. Their mines too. Cobras are the most different unit, as not so many ppl used to take advantage of Siege-tanks and Goliaths' attack-while-moving abilities.

 

I just got an idea... The new Cobras have electrical attacks, so would'nt it fit em to have Lockdown as an ability? It could be a long cooldown/high energy cost, and a short lockdown, to balance it out.

 

I voted for the Reapers. I always loved disrupting the enemy and throwing them off of their game plan. Be it a Marine drop right to their supply line, cloaked Wraiths, or irradiating a tight group of overlords, Disruption, followed by Tanks/Goliaths were always a good plan. i think Reapers will be an excellent tool to keep the enemies on their heels.

 

I voted for the Viking. I like the versatility it has as a transforming mech. I'll use it in most of my raids against the enemy.

 

One thing i don't like about the Viking as compaired to the Goliath is that it has to fly before attacking air. If it's on the ground when the flyers come in, it'll take a huge beating before it can transform and be ready to attack.

Also, the Air-To-Air attacks of ships are generally greater then the Air-To-Ground equivalent, a major reason why the Goliath was so effective against air units like the Scout and Wraith. It was on the ground, and instead of taking 20 damage per pop from a Wraith's Gemini Missiles, it was only taking 8 damage from the laser, and at a much longer cool down time, might I add. But still, you gotta love the enhanced mobility.

I guess in the end it's a trade off. We'll have to see how effective The Viking is when we play it.

 

Vikings.. I remember that I first saw the concept sketch rather than the actual unit on the official site and figured it out ,witch made me think "no way, that would be to cool".. "have they really done that"? And then when i scrolled down I then saw the unit and the transformation that confirmed it all I was blown away.. Then I really thought that, transformers have been around for so long, and no one has ever really done that brilliant concept, wich is strange.. Well luckilly blizzard did it, witch made upp for a unit that is going to be very interesting to play in a game that's going to rock the rts world. This company never seases to amaze . Not me atleast
