Just a quick question: What does the Terran "Burst Lasers" upgrade do? It's found as a normal (not unused) upgrade in Scmdraft, but I do not remember seeing it in-game anywhere. It shares the name with the wraith's ground attack, but it does not appear to do anything on first sight.



None.

Quoth the raven, "Swag galore."

In very early versions of StarCraft, you needed to research it for Wraiths to have their ground attack. It doesn't do anything now because they don't need it any more.

It would be funny if we could set it to disabled and wraiths couldn't have ground attack. :P



None.

Or you couldmake ground attack negligible. ie. 0

Still does 1/2 damage.



None.

If everything else does, say 50 damage, and units have over 200 hp, I'd say .5 damage is negligible.



None.

SDE, BWAPI owner, hacker.

So if you have over 100 wraiths it would be negligible? No.
Anyway, there are no "what ifs". The upgrade is completely unused.

Ultraviolet -- kinda wild that SC:R is approaching a decade old at this point

NudeRaider -- doesn't change much of my argument. That's still 15 years ago. And they went the "lazy" route and used the sc2 engine for, which obviously is more limited (but way quicker) than rendering everything from scratch.

Ultraviolet -- I haven't even paid enough attention to remastered cinematics to even compare to what that guy did
[2025-3-12. : 6:06 pm]
Ultraviolet -- think he was comparing what that guy did to SC:R's cinematics more than SC2's cinematics
[2025-3-12. : 6:00 pm]
NudeRaider -- That said, I like the gritty look of his more than what they did with the sc2 cinematics where everything is just glowy and polished. This is just more fitting of a war scenario and captures the desperation of the Protoss better..

they weren't really remade, just rerecorded in hd or something. It's now over 25 years after they were made, tools and techniques have improved a lot and are much more accessible.
