The Carrier everyone asked for...

I remember very often people in this forum shared their disappointment in the model used for the carrier, and wanted improvements to it done or wanted one that closer resembled the old carrier.

Well you guys may want to closely peek at the video Blizz has up on their game guide, specifically for the single player campaign features. One shot shows a Protoss fleet duking it out against Terran vikings, while a familiar looking Carrier retreats. Its a bit fuzzy, but if you pause it as it turns to retreat, you can see that its really just that....a blend of the new carrier and old one.

I don't know what to think of it; sorta annoying how a cool looking ship is exclusively a hero unit

A screenshot or a general spot in the video would be nice.

EDIT: Found it. It just looks like the normal carrier at a different angle. Nothing new.

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/gui...paign-overview, pause the video right as shots change from raynor (black marine) leading a team of marines to the air battle between vikings and pheonix/void rays, or right after Tychus says "battlefields"

the video isnt showing for me a timer.

EDIT: I'd have to disagree hav0x, there is a shell covering the core of the carrier that shoots out its drones

I would agree that this is definitely a different model. The size of it compared to the other ships implies to me that it's a hero unit, and thus is the reason for the different model.

It's really hard to tell if it's more likable than the current one, though, because the shot you get of it is so short.

Looks like the Selendis Carrier to me.

banana carrier or bust!

I agree that it should be Selendis's Carrier.

I take it back ><

As far as I can tell, there is a shell added on the top of the body of the ship and another addon to the side

Hero units including hero carrier :)

That is one big freakin Zerg blob.

Haha, anyone else think Kerrigan looks exactly like Illidan?^^

WTH is that thing hovering close to the Thor??

I reckon they're the Hyperion and the Protoss' Phoenix hero.

That's not the Hyperion, it's the Merc BC!

Or a merc version of a Cobra?

What about that flying thing that looks like the Millennium Falcon?

Zeratul's Void Seeker. (Black and green.)

No, I recognize the VS; I meant the other one on the right hand side BESIDE the Thor... The little tiny thing in re and white with a distinct Millennium Falcon shape hovering beside the shoulder of the Thor?

Thats gotta be the zerg Leviathan creature. But what's that humanoid-mechy thing at the center and the strange tank.
