Question about Bunkers

[Shadow Archon]

I don't have Beta, but does anyone know how well Reapers do in Bunkers compared to Marines? How about Ghosts?

I have a question about bunkers - has anyone used, 'Salvage' to their advantage?

[imdrunkontea]

I was forced to make a bunker once near my cc to defend against an early reaper attack. I salvaged it later when I didn't need it anymore.

Didn't really make much of a difference, to be honest.

[Caliban113]

Hmm...yeah, I was imagining all kinds of crazy bunker/turret pushes based on salvage - and also have not seen, 'Phase Shift' once

[Pandonetho]

People before beta made a huge deal about salvage, and indeed, it is a good ability.

But 100 minerals isn't a big difference as I suspected.

Also, Salvage was completely nerfed. It only works on Bunkers now; you can't salvage Missile Turrets or Sensor Towers.

Well reapers deal bonus vs light so i guess they can be better sometimes in bunkers,especially vs zealots and zerglings...

The +1 range would make them pretty strong against such units. But with the Bunker upgrade, what really matters is putting 3 Marauders in a Bunker.

I thought such an upgrade was single-player only? The Neo-Steel frame?

It was. About 6 months ago, they made it an E-Bay upgrade. Also, +2 building armor.
