Ya, that is pretty strange.
I thought someone at blizzard addressed this at one of the events. They used the space platform because they didn't have a city tileset and it wasn't worth it to make one for just one mission. The space platform looks the most city like so they used it.
Is this along the lines of what you're looking for?
Nah, it should be Kerrigan's pre-infestation artworkQuote:

Dude, the retcon happened years ago. No use getting your undies in a twist now.Quote:

They originally intended to have it on the ground, but the lack of a true city tileset made that unwieldy (and the pressure from internal deadlines made that infeasible to add). In a sense, the corrections in Liberty's Crusade and beyond are a UNretconing the retcon to the original script.
Besides, whether New Gettysburg was on the ground or in space hardly matters; whats important is that Mengsk left Kerrigan to die and that plot point shaped the course of the entire series. There are far, far more difficult retcons to swallow--this one is comparatively minor.
I'd argue the importance, but I was led to believe they preferred the orbital, given there was a Wasteland map version of the same mission.Quote:
