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.

Armor: 90.50%

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.

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



None.

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

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[2026-9-22. : 8:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
