I fully disagree. I find Terran extremely boring. They have cool mechanics, like the Viking being able to transform, but the designs are uninspired.

Not really. The battlecruisers with their hammerhead designs, the Wraiths, science vessels all look cool and different from a lot of sci fi universes.

And Yamato Cannon > Those pussy carriers.

I'm sure the Protoss have access to far more durable materials than Terran.

I'm actually basing that on in-game stats. haha

but even if protoss materials are more sturdy, the bc probably makes up for it with the sheer amount/thickness of armor it has.

Doesn't change the fact that I think Protoss ships are better looking than Terran.

Yeah, god forbid anyone change your opinion on those magical blimps that shoot out flying binocculars that use their lenses as focal points to burn enemy targets.

remember, not blimps anymore - they've been upgraded to goat skulls

lol, that should definitely allow for some more aerodynamic manueverability.

I am NOT talking about in-game models. The in-game Carrier is a pathetic attempt compared to its art, which is gorgeous.

And yet, you talk about inefficient Terran designs when Protoss carriers are not self armed in any way, and rely COMPLETELY on interceptors.

Battlecruisers are armed with multiple laser batteries, an upgraded ability (yamato cannon, defensive matrix, missile barrage) and house hundreds of troops and squadrons of fighters.

But as always, leave it to plot armour to allow Protoss carriers an upperhand in combat against the Terrans because of their magical uber technology.

Well, I suppose they do have that giant Yamato rip off beam coming out of the Hull of the ship, but somehow I feel it's only super carriers that have that.

[imdrunkontea]

I see it now. The protoss carriers are covered in chrome and mirrors to harmlessly reflect the bc's laser batteries.

darned crafty aliens...

The Carrier is an exception, not the rule. Also, Carriers do NOT rely entirely on Interceptors. Carriers have their own weaponry, its just not used in-game. Lest I remind you of the new SC:L cinematic where multiple, non-hero Carriers blow up Chau Sara. Interceptors are the Carrier's version of the fighters the BC's carry.
