I know it's possible to get interceptors to move around without having carriers present (for an extended amount of time that is) but is it possible to get those same interceptors to attack in that state?

So far I've only seen them move around.



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

They can only attack if a carrier is near. Without a carrier they will explode.
Btw, if you freeze them, they will shot more often. that wasn't your question, but I try to spread my knowledge. :D

Really? I should try that sometime, you could have the carrier hidden out of view, and have them stuck, like some kind of defense.



None.

Sleeping wolves wake hungry.

Just a question.

If a carrier is attacking with interceptors and gets stasis fielded while doing so, what happens to the interceptors?

Freeze, as in Move Unit to location, preserver, or disable?



None.

Move to location, and if you freeze the carrier with stasis the interceptors will automatically return to it.



None.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
