Re: Starcraft 2 discussion thread

And I'll agree that de-zergifying Kerrigan is probably a loss for the good guys. She has no doubt lost a large portion of her psionic power, which obviously is crucial to stopping Duran. Can honestly go both ways. Most of the reason for her lack of psionic skills in the Terran campaign in Starcraft...

All the Stierlitz jokes! If your puny organic mind cannot comprehend the greatest jokes in the galaxy , then there is nothing I can do to help. Even the Bragulans understand them! Clearly, they're more biologically advanced than you. Clearly I'm not Russian enough to understand them either. :?

It's only the flagships that are armed with such weaponry. (of which I have 5, and they don't leave core sectors) The rest of my fleet are equipped with our own mass drivers and missiles weaponry. So it's less of a concern that you might expect.

Your call. Bear in mind that we are far from the only people in the galaxy who can make big capital ship guns, and we know it. We just specialize in making one particular type of big guns: charged-particle beam weapons. If you want to arm your ships with giant mass drivers or bomb-pumped ultrawave ...

Remember, that ion cannon was, all by itself, the main battery of a ship that punches at 1500$ offensive value. You might want to settle for something a bit smaller, something you can fit more of into your hull. Umerian capital ships, for example, use a cluster of three to six beamlines instead of ...
