Have yet to see or hear any instance of this being used. Would be sad if it was taken out.

Yes, it's still in there.
I think it's a pretty neat idea. If they dropped the resource cost 25% or so, might see more people using it.
I LOVE it!!!
As long as the dots show on the mini map that is
Man it only costs 125m 100g. How much less can you ask for something that reveals enemy activity on a huge radius of the map?Quote:

Xel'Naga Towers don't work beyond its set radius? You can erect a Sensor Tower virtually anywhere (aside from Creepy Crawlies of course).

They also cover a HUGE portion of the map. And don't leave your units vulnerable.Quote:

Well, I'm not in beta so I haven't used them yet, but they're one of the main reasons I'm leaning towards making Terran my primary.
I love being aware of the map and my enemies movements, but am not a great scouting player. Passive scouting potential like Sensor Towers and the Xel'Naga towers are going to be a boon for me.
Gas cost is a bit high though, IMO. Again, though, I haven't used them so I can't say for certain.
