    Being in the missile turret is like living on a boat. You develop sea legs and get used to the motion. Once you step back on land you feel the lack of motion and have to readjust to normalcy.
    Also it’s nice that they keep the guys employed when hi-sec auto tracking ai research shows up.

    Can confirm missile turrets do spin the opposite direction for us. Terran Dominion can't take control of Australia because it doesn't exist, we are all paid actors.

    Regarding missile turret man; that much constant spinning would probably interfere with proper blood flow and cause a stroke or other seriously health problems after long enough.

  • @battlefrog12
    @battlefrog12 2 месяца назад

    If you listen to all of the cinematics in the campaign it teaches you quite a bit. The immortals are the consciousness of a former Protoss that has been saved and implanted into the purifier shell that is an Immortal, hence the name. Same thing applies to the Sentry.

    Lowko, the turrets don't cost supply, so there is no one in there! From the SC Field Manual, the turrets are "Capable of automatic operation".

  • @bentencho
    @bentencho 3 месяца назад +13

    The reason why the Terran marines are similar to 40K space marines is because StarCraft was originally supposed to be a Warhammer 40K RTS. Blizzard couldn't get the license for it, thus StarCraft was born.

    • @dexiedude
      @dexiedude 3 месяца назад +4

      Common misconception. By the time Starcraft was being developed, Blizzard and Games Workshop were far separated. I believe there is some truth to the story that Warcraft was supposed to be a strategy 40k game, but I'm not sure. I'd be happy to see a source for the claim, but I've never seen one, and every time I see the question, it is never backed up with any real evidence.

    Dragoons and Immortals house fallen protoss to continue their service for the emper- I mean aiur. Zerg are underpowered tyranids with kerrigan attached. Marines are imperial guard with big armor. They have power armor which is where the similarities with space marines end rather abruptly.

    The only way Protoss players flush value faster than donating motherships is by delivering a steady stream of disruptors directly into a gunline without even launching a nova. It's more heartbreaking than watching bad Terrans lead a push with their siege tanks and/or running the bio behind them during the engage.

Don't remember them being heavy on the lore but there are some new stories and even new characters. One of the books was just retelling of starcraft 1 episode 1 campaign though, that was pretty lame.

      @Ijatsu 3 месяца назад

      I'd not mind it if next to it protoss had good anti hair.
      Vikings are absurdly cheap and effective, their range and micro power are too good. Storm barely scratches them, novas don't target flying units, archons are too short range, their DPS is miserable for their cost and they get fucked by EMP , stalkers DPS and range is also not making them apt to deal with vikings.
      Phoenix are the overall solution if you want to protect your colossus and I think it'd be better to pack colossus with them instead of switching to disruptors, but that delays your army tremendously and you suddenly lack ground DPS. While the terran can produce vikings and have very good ground DPS. Void rays get eaten by vikings solely for a range and maneuverability reason.
      It's just... IDK, terran just has the last word in every counters and outrange outmicro outdps everything ground and air. Except for tempests who should be the answer for mines, tanks and libs, but they only outrange vikings by 1.... lmao.
      And in the end, even having a lot of marauders in your comp is enough to make colossus relatively useless.

I know you played the campaigns and in Legacy you have a mission with Karax saying how he can't free the pilot from being brainwashed, but can take over the robot suit.
    1:08:43 Yo. I got three SC novels I picked up back in like 2003, along with four Diablo and like seven Warcraft around the same time, with three more for Diablo some years ago. I can tell you one of the SC ones specifically had a plotpoint where they were in some abandoned station and were trying to get a missile turret up and running and I doubt anyone climbed up to sit in it. Maybe they retconned it since then, maybe not.

Let’s extrapolate even. If Usain Bolt can set a world record for running, you can. Each and every one of you should go out there and set a new record out doing each and every one else.
