Lightbulb StarCraft 2 November Discussion Topic: The New Terran Ghost

This month’s discussion will focus attention on a very specific, if not minor, aspect of the StarCraft 2 gameplay balance - the new and improved Terran Ghost unit.
After September and October’s focus on major and controversial issues, such as the monstrous Mothership and the next generation of the Battle.net system, switching to a discussion about a semi-popular tier 1.5 infantry unit surprised many.
In StarCraft 1, the Ghost’s attributes and abilities made it a non-standard unit on the battlefield. Few players can say that their strategy, against any race, actually included ghosts.
The Ghost’s StarCraft 1 stats are as follows:
Hit points : 45
Cost : 25 75

Except for cloaking, the Ghost only has two abilities: Lockdown and Nuke.
Considering the fact that hitting “Print Screen” is more damaging than the Ghost’s average damage output (10 points of concussive damage coupled with a low rate of fire), deploying a ghost meant relying on its abilities - Lock Down and Nuke, both being usually misplaced tactical anomalies. Neither of the mentioned abilities serve as a standard offensive or defensive tactic for anything. The choice of using a Ghost is often caused by the Terran player’s desperation or utter domination of his opponent.
Conversely, the StarCraft 2 Ghost’s design clearly sets it as a key unit in the Terran infantry arsenal - comparable to the Protoss High-Templar in its versatility, importance and impact.
Karune has included the Ghost’s current stats and a description of its abilities in StarCraft 2:
Mineral Cost: 100
Vespene Gas Cost: 100
Supply Cost: 2

Hit Points: 100
Max Energy: 200 (Starts with 50)
Armor: Light
Weapon Damage: 5 (+30 vs Light)
Range: 10
Weapon Speed: Normal
  • Cloak - 25 Energy (initial) and 1 Energy/Second while Cloaked (Invisibility)
  • EMP - 100 Energy (Depletes energy and shields of enemy units within the area of effect)
  • Snipe - 25 Energy (Does 50 damage vs. Biological unit + 100 vs. Light Armor and can be used while cloaked)
  • Nuke - Utter destruction of everything but the most fortified structures in large area.
  • Drop pod - Calling down units from the sky.
The amount of abilities and the potential impact a well used Ghost can have on the battlefield reminds us of the Heroes of WarCraft III. A unit that serves as an invisible assassin with AoE spells and the ability to call down reinforcements puts the StarCraft 2 Terran Ghost on the opposite side of the tactical spectrum from its StarCraft 1 counterpart. The StarCraft 2 Ghost appears to be so versatile, that few Terran commanders will not find the unit useful.
Karune has published 4 standard questions :
Battle.net Questions for Fans:
* Do you like the new StarCraft II Ghost?
* Will the new Ghost change your strategy?
* How would you utilize the Ghost?
* Additional Feedback you would like to give?
And we would also like to ask a few questions of our own:
1) Do you find such an amount of abilities fit for a single infantry unit ?
2) How do you feel about the removal of Lockdown ?
3) EMP + Nuke effectively means total annihilation to Protoss bases - should one of these abilities be given to a different unit?
4) What do you think about splitting the Ghost abilities into two exclusive - EMP & Snipe OR Drop pods &Nukes - Battlecruiser style upgrades ?

Ghosts

I have a question. if nukes are 100 energy does that mean that there is no Nuke silo? if that does that give Ghosts a very powerful attack that the can use over and over again without minerals.

That seems to overpower terran in contrast to other races.

Exclamation How long have you been married

bump up .. My husband, Brian, is a computer systems administrator. He is dedicated to his job and works long hours, rarely taking time off for meals. One afternoon, Brian was over -whelmed with solving a computer network problem, so I decided to deliver a meal for him to eat at his workstation. When I was getting ready to leave, I said good-bye and reminded him to eat his burg er and fries while they were still warm. Staring at his monitor, he waved me away.″Don't worry,″ he said, obviously distracted,″I'll deleted them in a few minutes.″  When a woman in my office became engaged, a colleague offered her some advice.″The first ten years are the hardest,″she said.″How long have you been married?″I asked.″Ten years,″ she replied. --------------------------------The WoW Power Leveling ( World of warcraft Power Leveling ) site offer buy WoW Power Leveling, cheap WoW Power Leveling, free wow power leveling, 1- 70 level wow power leveling and wow power leveling news!

Arrow with the signaling

Dispatching whale insects in the nearby marshes earned cov infamy me the proud identification of Gildrian, Fly-Swatter.Another entity that needs to be mentioned is the penalization system. All characters in LOTRO nock the cognition to read liquid instruments, and "game" them, with the signaling keys representing notes of the play touchstone.
