THOR and MARAUDER FIX

Deffinition of laser: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. So its some sort of high energy light

Actually protoss are not using lasers a lot:

Probe: Particle Beam --> i.e. not a light beam i.e. not a laser
Zealot: Psi blade --> Energy from his head i.e. not a laser
Stalker: Particle disrupter --> Blow up the foundation of matter itself i.e. not a laser
Disruptor: Force Beam --> ok we can say we found some sort of «laser»
Immortal: Phase disruptor --> Like the particle disruptor, but even more weird
Colossus: Twin Thermal Lances --> Beam of ion warmed by psi energy
Phoenix: Energy Beam --> we found a laser?! No, psy energy
Void Ray: Prismatic Beam --> some weird toss tech that concentrate the void itself into a crystal and shoot it.
Dark templar: Warp blade --> Warp the space into itself... and I think it hurt...
Carrier: Interceptor --> Maybe lasers... but more probably ion cannons
Mothership: Rift Burst --> Aka: wut? but anyway not a laser


Si lets figure out: all these ranged are beam like, but deffinitly no protoss unit shot lasers

And the only units in the whole games (sc1 and 2) with «laser» denomination are Battlecruisers, Wraiths and ghost when targeting a nuke.

So lasers belong to terran, and «psi beam» to protoss.

Gt, you don't want to bring question of what technically constitutes a "laser" into this. Because nothing in SC1 acts as a "laser". The fact that you can see it at all shows that. Seeing it as a bolt flying out of a BC or Wraith also is 100% wrong.

So no, nothing in SC1 is technically a laser. However, that's not what's important. By "laser", we were clearly talking about energy weapons, rather than bullet weapons.

Honestly no one gives a damn if it's an ion cannon or cat piss. The point is that visually you see something that looks like a laser even if it's not technically a laser and so they are the "laser" race.

I've always preferred Protoss using blue colored beam weaponry. The Colossus using red beams irks me, but whatever.

As for Thor, I don't mind its current armament, but I'd prefer if it had weaponry far different from Siege Tank. The shelling is already covered, it should have a heavy chaingun (DoW Heavy bolter style?) or a flurry of missles (Valkyrie style?).

They're thermal lances, it wouldn't make much sense to have them as blue.

E=hv

Everyone can identify that red = hot.

It's not supposed to make "chemical sense" it's just supposed to look appealing to the masses.

Sad but true.

Blue would still be hotter and every other Protoss beam is blue so imo it would make more sense if it was blue and would look also better.
