Mostly fine. Lore-wise, I like the Ravager, I don't really like the Cyclone so much (because it seems like a robotic unit, and it moves so fast. imo the fast-moving, maneuverable terran units [vultures, reapers, hellions] should be piloted by crazy daredevils who are risking their lives driving so unsafely. Even though controlling those sorts of things remotely makes sense, I just like the idea of terran robotic units being slower and clunkier). The Herc is great, a big and clunky space suit with a grappling gun/tether seems like exactly the sort of thing some illegal terran salvager crew would have cooked up as a nonmilitary derelict space-salvage version of marine armor.Quote:

I'm more excited for the new campaign units... and the new information the campaign will give about the old units!
They show the Hyperion model alongside a bunch of Minotaur battlecruisers again! I think I will upgrade my Hyperion to Shadow Archon's size for it, it definitely looks significantly bigger than them based on this. (Which also means my Leviathan should get bigger too...)

Also, story-mode models of pylons (above), stalkers, colossi, void rays (which are much smaller than mine, which I figured was coming). And the hybrid reaver is in a cutscene.
The biggest thing (literally) is the Spear of Adun. Yesterday, when I first saw it, I thought it was a bit strange conceptually, because the way they described it made it sound like something the Mothership could have been used for. But then in the panel I watched today, they mentioned that it's large enough to "contain carriers, even motherships." So, okay then.
I like that finally they're not shying away from (at least pretending to have) a fixed scale for it, showing which part of it contains the bridge, etc. Also, look! They show it from above alongside little tiny minotaur battlecruisers.

So, uh, it's gonna be like 5 to 10 times larger than the Leviathan. Of course, a lot of that is empty space, but still. Crazy big. Protoss reclaim their place as having the biggest ships around. Damn.
Edit: Here're the terran capital ships with the Hyperion scaled to ~1km in keeping with Shadow Archon's figures. Also, the Behemoth battlecruiser drawing has been overlaid with my 3D model to make it a bit better. Might still have to clean up some of the edges.
