Crazy Idea: Give MS interceptors, remove the Carrier (model) and bring back the Arbie

[don]

1. Carrier Model Sucks
2. Mothership is too much like the arbiter

================================================== ==

1a. Why not give the Carrier the Mothership's model/Turn the MS into an Interceptor Carrier?
1b. Maybe buff it with more Interceptors and make it cost more.
1c. Maybe give it the planet cracker, as suggested in this thread: http://sclegacy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3596 (Personally, i suggest a MS can be refit with a planet cracker or interceptor bays individually)
1d. So now, the Mothership's role is a heavy assault capital ship.

2a. Nerf the current mothership and give it an arbiter model.
2b. Same abilites, but weaken the attack, like the old arbie.
2c. So the old support caster is back.

Too Crazy?

Note: OR MS would still be that single unit. Its just that its awesomeness would be more focused on its attack power, giving it more interceptor capacity. And maybe an armor/hp increase and a speed buff. Sort of like the MS now + 3-4 carriers, but without the support abilities.

The arbiter would be a multi-build-able support unit.

No more mass carriers.

Too Crazy?

Too crazy.

In my opinion the Mothership needs-More attack speed,Replace the Mass Recall with Mass Teleport with an AoE as the Cloacking field,And give it a little bit more shields probably something like 500/300 or 450/350,Mass Teleport will have the name Wormhole transit,and will be both cool and usefull,and of course Mothership will not be an gigantic arbiter...

Too crazy.

But is crazy=bad for you?

Well I agree the mothership needs work, but giving it the carrier's role while bringing back the arbiter isn't ideal. Also if they were to completely scrap the mothership and bring back the arbiter in some form, i would much prefer they use the old star relic model. That being said, just swapping out some mothership abilities could easily fix the unit and make it unique and useful again.

I think they should just move the mothership to Single-player, and bring back the arbiter, or something else that we can sneak around corners.

MS currently is really too bulky.

I agree the MS needs to be single player only. Let's get a new useful unit.

On a side note, scrap the Carrier and get two new air units. Let's completely remake the boring played out Protoss airforce.

Yeah, I think we all have thought about letting the Protoss have a massable caster air unit but Blizzard is dead set against it.

It really makes me curious wondering if Dustin is behind a lot of the super unit and C&C ideas, or if one of the top artists guys are. Or is it the silent group of SC2 developers that want to bring scrapped concepts from SC1's development into its sequel?

MS need a support spell like energy recharge or shield recharge to make super duper combo with HT and immortal. No combo, no fun.

General rule of helpful game suggestions.

1)If you have two problems, and one of them is a cosmetic problem which is highly opinionated, creating a seven part solution that reworks a third of a classes tech tree is not the way to go.
