Sounds easy, maybe harder when you play the game:(...

Let's hope you can nuke the carriers, get far enough to not die, and still see the explosions.

Yeah, they may beef up Nova a bit since the original ghosts are kinda underpowered.

It's just that lockdown is one of those abilities that sounds nicer on paper than in practice. EMP is another example of this. I guess terran players still haven't received the memo, yet.

and you have to figure one lockdown round wouldnt propaly be able to take down a carrier and they are defintly going to limit how many times you can nuke

Yeah, if you could nuke all you want, then it would be way too easy. One lockdown round might be able to neutralize a carrier.

the carriers look huge but no suprise for me

u gotta remember they have to store fighters (interceptors) and who knows how many crew members lol

lockdown should be made much more usefull and nuking should be limited. this game should be alot of stealth instead of going throughout it gunning everything in ur path

I never thought that they had to be that big because they had to store eight interceptors each. Dang, those things are really big.

i think it's the perfect size. yes there is going to be nukes. in an old issue (about 6 months i think) of gameinformer it shows a nuke killing tons of zerg units. it's sweet. dragoons are supposed to be that big, as are the carriers. they hold 8 interceptors, and in the game 1 interceptor is bigger than 3 ghosts combined. also with lockdown u could easily take out one carrier, or take out many carriers and a base with 1 well placed nuke while cloaked.

carriers are meant to be huge...... like flying battlestations. im hoping in sc ghost 100's of interceptors will come out of the carriers... im assuming only 8 is in sc so its fair and possible to manage.
