I dunno. It's just... odd to me. I'm not really loving the Tempest. Doesn't seem all that strategic or interesting. Just another big gun.

Even the Carrier required a little positioning micro. Though I'm not really a Carrier fan at all.



Well, the Terrans especially just sound like really bad ideas. Particularly since a complaint they rectified originally was the overuse of ground-based AoE. And... all three new units are ground-based AoE... that serve little purpose otherwise.



Motherships are made at the Nexus.

In terms of mothership look at my EDIT photo...it's been taken out. For some abilities....here's the photo again

And tempest cost and time is AMAZING. Compared to carrier stats...

350mins 250gas 120 build time (+100 mins for 4 more interceptors)

OMG. Recall on nexus.:D Wonder what the requirements are.

EDIT: Plus...damn shredders. Seems imba already at defending siege tanks and PFs.

Glad someone agrees with my earlier assessment.

Strategy Supposition: use Viper "Pull" to displace Shredders.

Demo....your initial reaction in this thread was shredders were useless compared to hellions. It was I who initially noted the potential for imba from the words "deployable AOE".:p

Nein. I said they were pointless AoE, not useless, when compared to the Hellion. I then, in a second post, reiterated their pointlessness as a defensive unit because of Tanks and PF's.

Drool. And I found out about this right before I have to go to work. *Sigh*

Well i fail to see them as pointless. They add to Terran defense. Tanks and PFs have issues dealing with masses of melee units like zealots or zerglings. Shredders that do AOE in a radius would do a lot to increase Terran's defensive capabilities to a possible imba level.

Intriguing screenshot. What is the blue lightning in the middle of the minerals?

PF's are already AoE.
