A few Blue posts from today about random details

Maybe you should only get back as much as is undamaged. ie, a 250 hp Missile Turret gives you 100 minerals, but a 165hp turret only gives you 66 minerals.

^ Best suggestion yet (if it needs balancing).

Ya. that sounds like the best way to go. But im sure it would require balancing to make it equal with how much it costs to repair the building and such. Just tweaks and stuff but thats a nice layer to add onto the idea.

Well I'd always assumed that it cost as much to repair a building as to 'build' that much of it, ie, repairing gains you squat if you're going to salvage it immediately.

Addind 8 supply permanently for 50 energy seems really really good, I wonder if it is instant?

It was orignally +2 supply. It seems the devs played with it and realized that giving terran "free" stuff isnt actually that bad,

Hey I'm fine with it, just wondering if it has a build time or not. I think that's the key to it.

I think its supposed to be instant or close to instant. The devs said one application was for new players if they forget to build a depot (great example of macro actually helping new players).

That's true. Can't wait to try to abuse it! Soon please!

Could perhaps squeeze out a more early game units abusing that as well, all in rushes ftw o.0
