Zerg Capital Ship...The New Devourer!

as long as it only attacks other air units then its fine

 

Exactly.

 

How about Lings with upgradable gliding wings? So they could leap up of cliff sides or other embankments...like the Reaper...FEAR THE SWARM.

 

then they wont be able to get back up

 

Maybe short range flight could be a late game upgrade for zerglings, to go up and down cliffs. That would certainly keep them useful late game.

This is getting off-topic though.

 

Ohh, we are not.. No one listen to that guy. Flying zerglings for the win!!

On a side note: I agree lol.

 

i think that this is a horrible idea and it would never fit iton the zerg

 

Thanks for flaming. Care to say why?

 

It does fit. The zergling have wings, and should be able to use them. Maybe not to get up cliffs, by they would be able to glide down them, and should be able to glide across small streams and open areas on space maps.

 

Maybe an air reaver for the zerg? Just a thought...

Late upgrade for the overlord, make scourges seperately, load them into the upgraded ovie, and let it shoot down air units.

 

What I think he is trying to say is that the Devour swallows the ship Neutralizes it and kills it inside of its body with acid spores. But if there was it should have the ability to unload/load/make troops as well but it does not explain how it will survive with a huge explosion in its body, plus it does not fit into zerg because zerg = numbers

Well that would be weird like people say Zerg means numbers so you mass them so if some die u still hav some left but it wouldn't make sense of ovies can shoot scourges (If you move the Overlord into a right position to you, you can see a little nuke/penis looing thing it has white/black squares then its red and sticks out)

 

i have an idea.

the flying zergling is used to jam the enemie's attack. you know like those er scourge? but instead of exploding and doing damage they run into their firing cannon and stuff themselves inside causing the weapon to jam

 

the devourer sure was one of the strongest air unit of SC especially when massed, no way an airfleet can withstand its force BUT!!!

isnt the name devourer inappropriate for it coz it doesnt even eatsh!t,, i mean what does it devour? its actually more of a vomitter or Poofer lol, it actually excretes more than the way it should act on its name description...

so about a zerg capital ship that can swallow enemy capital ships would be way too imba ^_^ maybe if it will ever devour something it rather eat its own race like cannibalize to regain health or maybe devour only medium small sized air units.. coz that a big chunk of metal sure is gonna rot someones stomach and wouldnt even be able to digest it no matter what acids in their stomach they might have,, its just way too big to just devour something big and fight like your not feeling sh*tty for eating more than you can swallow ^_^ ^_^

and of course i wouldnt even want any capital ship for the zerg coz that would ruin their trademark of being unit spammers... if ever there will be one,, there should only be one,, like a hive queen or something that the insect world worships....

 

hive queen yes please!!! <3 ;D

make it look like the alien queen and being mobile larve/egg producer

 

Maybe if it didn't swallow ships whole but just attacked by biting ships. I don't know.

 

So it would be a air melee unit.

It would need a lot of life since it would be the only melee air unit, or extremely cheap so it would be easy to mass them to replace those lose in battle.

 

Rex, no offense, but you really need to word your posts more carefully. I can hardly understand what you are talking about.
Just because it is called a Devourer, it doesn't mean it has to devour ships. Devourer just gives the impression of it being a huge, powerful, unit that it capable of doing incredible damage. Think of the name more like a metaphor or something. 'It devours through the enemy ranks', which doesn't mean that it literally eats the opposing ships, it just means that it destroys them extremely quickly.

 

Good point.

 

OMG!!! The Overlords have appeared!!! O_O YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!

*so happy*

 

I think they should change the Devourer to a unit which can engage in air melee and give it an ability to swallow small air units.
