Staredit Network -> Miscellaneous -> Stupid Questions About Starcraft
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Nintendo_Confed on 2006-10-10 at 21:06:37
Sorry about last post, wrote title wrong
This thread is to ask questions about Starcraft that aren't normally addressed
You can respond to other peoples questions or ask some of your own.
REMEMBER: Be creative, either asking a question or answering one.
Don't respond to anyone saying "thats a stupid question"
Place a number before every question, following the flow (i.e., if i ask 4 questions, you start your first one with a 5)
Also, if you are gonna respond to someone, then quote their questions first and then answer them.
Ill start it off with some questions of my own

1)How do Zerg air units (expet Mutalisk) fly?
2)Where do all the people that command terran machinery units come from?
3)Where does an scv get the supplies to make buildings?
4)If an scv has the supplies to make a factory (buildings that create units), technically, cant it construct the units that that building makes?
5)Technically, Shouldn't a Starport be able to create units while flying?

Btw, this question is off topic but, is there a limit on how many threads you can start at once?

I love this thread.

1) Most are full of vespene gas. As geysers demonstrate to us, vespene is lighter than air. They rise. (Mutalisks have wings. Guardians and Devourers, the largest units, have less developped wings that aide the gas. Overlords are just very bloated.)

2) In the manual. They're convicts.

3) It just welds pieces of refined mineral chunks together.

4) Nah, The building has machinery that the SCV doesn't have.

5) Yes, yes it should.

In 1, You said that Overlords are bloated with vespene. If im correct, You dont need any vespene to create an Overlord.
In 4, Yes but the scv created that machinery

1) How does the Medic's heal ability work?

2) Why do units never run out of ammunition?

3) Why do you need a Ghost to target a nuke? Why can't you just remotely launch it? Other than reasons of balance, I mean. tongue.gif

4) How does Subterranean Spines work?

5) How do air units stay in the air when floating in place and with no evidence of jets firing?

6) How can Carriers generate lift? They're huge and not exactly...the most aerodynamic of things...

More to come, I'm sure...

1) Steroids.

2) They die before they do.

3) The same reason that you need Comsat Stations.

4) Same way worms do. But sharper.

5) Miniature helicopters are keeping them aloft.

6) They're created mid-air. Stargates float.

3) Very carefully.

4) Lazy [m]modders.

1)Why cant the units in Dropships/Shuttles/Overlords attck?
2)Why cant units swim?
3)When Terran buildings lift off, why cant units just get inside building to be flown also?
4)How do Stargates float?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Lord_Agamemnon(MM) on 2006-10-10 at 22:01:37
1) Because all their cargo space is taken up with units so they have none for ammo.

2) You try swimming with armor.

3) Because. Just because. They'd probably make it too heavy.

4) They use the Khaydarin Crystal power provided by Pylons to generate an anti-grav field.

1) Because they have no weapons?
2) Because Blizzard is too poor to buy water in the game.
3) Why cant you go into a flying air plane?
4) Stargates float because a mouse is holding it.

2. Why do infested terrans use suicide even though numerous times in cinimatics there seen holding guns

3. Why the hell are infested terrans not mechanical even though there built from scvs

4. Who would win in a fight. George bush or dropship

1. Bread and water
2. Because they run out of ammo tongue.gif
3.Because SCV's have people inside of them, and those people get infested
4.The dropship because it could pick bush up and land him in a zerg base.

1) They're not. Thats a misconception created by goddamn StarEdit. If you highlight a group including civilians, you'll see that they're not heros. Their wireframe is blue.

And Starports shouldn't be able to build while they fly. Too much power would be concentrated to keeping it afloat to be able to build things.

And for Voy's questions:

1) Its automated.

2) Blizzard loves us smile.gif (woah, voy you just gave me ideas.)

1)Why are ALL the medics hot?
2)Why is it that on the terran level (nine?) when Kerrigan is caught by the zerg can you not save her? I've deflected the zerg horde and had kerrigan in a dropship, wtf mate?

1) Because it makes the Marines feel better about combat. If they get wounded, they get to be healed by a hot chick. tongue.gif

2) What you failed to realize of course was that there could be... Hydralisks on a Dropship!

Why don't you make a movie called "Hydralisk on a Dropship"?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by dumbducky on 2006-10-11 at 18:29:59
Because that would be lame.

And at voy's nuclear critters:
It's because they eat uranium all the time.

1) How come critter explosions don't hurt anything else?
2) Why can't you use critter explosions on the internet?

1.The critter explosions are jsut gas or blood, they don't hurt because the forces have armor on.
2. Blizzard loves us.

My ?s:

1.How can BCs float when still?

2.How come we can't reload spider mines into a vulture.

3.What is Duran a Lt.
