I am just saying its impossible to stop DT rushes with that.
* obs *
some guy: YAY I MADE A NOMAD!!!!! WITH NO TROOPS AT ALL! nOW I OWN J00!!
other guy walks in with about 3 dts.
rapes all scvs and goes out and comes in with lots of zlots.
some guy: NOOOOO...
None.
So what you're saying is... Starcraft is balanced?
What an amazing discovery.
None.
I was pointing out the uselessness of your argument in the face of such an obvious fact.
None.
What is this obvious fact- its balanced? Duh.
None.
Yes, so your argument was absolutely useless.
None.
How was my argument useless? That was not my point. You fail at extracting the thesis of arguments.
That was supposed to be an argument against people I've been telling: "Cool now I can use this to defend against DTs! LOL~!"
None.
Well, it would own unsupported DTs.
None.
No it wouldn't. It wouldn't own at all. It either has a limit of its deployment or it has a resource cost of each deployment of turrets. And those things are instant- which means they wouldn't be very strong. A strike of a DT will kill it, or it would kill SCVs and walk out. Please. Tell me more of your unsupported, underthought, invalid statements.
None.
1. I agree with what I believe to be the second post of this discussion, should repair and you know all that. I like this unit. The more units there are the better. Last StarCraft, there were more buildings than units! Ridiculocity!
2. Kellimus was banned? Maybe there should be a ban-news thing for these badboys.
3. Why is the first two pages of Frazz's posts reported? I hope he's not being penalized for this.
None.
When it comes down to it it's just a flying SCV with detection. I doubt that it builds turrets instantly but rather is able to transport them after construction. And it says "the nomad can construct a variety of small, semi-permanent defensive structures to meet various threats in a matter of moments." and if i recall correctly the sensor tower is a defensive structure.

It also has EMP. LOL BAI DTS.
None.
If each turret is based on money and energy, then MASS defense!
Oh yeah, there's a footage in SC2 site in flash where you can see that the turrets ripped the Dark Templars apart. There was Marines and Tanks around but the turrets did most of the work, only about one marine and a tank were fighting the Dark Templars as soon the Nomads arrived. No Auto Turrets were harmed during the making of that video. Thank you.

this is the most retarded unit they have made so far... For one it looks like a piece of shit, my crappy GMax models own this. (not to mention my grps rape it) two, it just drops turrets in from no where! i could see if it could carry one in its arm things but it sucks instead!
None.
Funny because it replaces the Science Vessel and uses the capabilities what the Science Vessel does. It should be your last resort of defense or first priority of attack. They can be proven useful when landing your forces upon the Battlefield and protecting them against any type of attack from cloak to something powerful.
None.
I like the concept, but the model is lacking here also. I think blizzard has gone awry witht heir art direction.
The unit idea itself is good, an advanced building unit that can be used for drops as well as defence, it also repairs units.
Nothing wrong with any of that.
Although replacing the science vessel, with a non-caster unit... Kinda dumb imo...
Also, to clear up any misconceptions.
Turrets are instant, they cost no resources only energy.
There is roughly enough energy for two turrets, and then the nomad must recharge
Turrets are actually tough, how long does it take to make a marine?
A lot shorter than it takes to wait for your nomad to recharge.
Turrets aren't free, they cost time. In SC, time is the most valuable resource [moreso than games like C&C, or Ground Control]
Anyway, all else failing, I'd imagine a single goon or 3-4 hydras would make short work of a nomad.
Oh wait. Blizzard destroyed the goon.
