Carrier?

[dash1ra]

i dont think i like this new carrier they are makin. what was it the max interceptors you can have at anytime is 4? i see you can make escorts but that would get really annoying. having a fleet of carriers would be so expensive to make escorts for you couldnt make anything else.
i want the old carrier back with 8 interceptors or the new tempest. what do u think?

If you want the old Carrier, then play the old StarCraft.

I'm not sure what I think about escorts. I'm perfectly fine with the carrier as is.(minus the escort thing) I certainly don't want the tempest. Its a piece of crap. Plus I don't like the idea of carrs getting a downgrade while bcs get uprgaded.(even though bcs were rarely ever used in bw and doubt that'll changed in sc2 even with plasma torpedoes)

It highly depends on your strategy but I do prefer the old carrier

Thread is pretty irrelevant now. Escorts have been removed and Interceptors are back at 8.

Also I would like to point out that 4 interceptors you couldn't build were replaced by the ability to purchase 4 escorts. Impossible to tell how useful, but as a game mechanic clearly failed since it is no longer being used.

I'm gonna be terran, so behold! But this is a good balance only 4 interceptors and I'm glad the mothership is just a support unit not a kill-all unit. The carrier now looks way better than in SC&BW.

I think they may need to be buffed...though, its the same situation in SC. In a 1v1, a BC will always destroy a carrier because of the 7 armor vs 9 damage of an interceptor. The carrier wouldn't do enough damage versus a consistent 22-24 or so damage each second from a BC's basic laser attack. Based on the videos on the main site, it looks about the same. BC's also got upgraded but Protoss got the Mothership so...

No room to cry about air. :/

If it's the same situation as SCBW then they don't need to be buffed.

Battlecruisers now do like 8 volleys of like 8 damage. Not so much consistent damage anymore.

^ but the good thing is if im not mistaken if a unit dies the remaining volleys from the 8 will continue on to the next enemy unit.
