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.

1. They are filled with Vespence

2. Because they have a gel who increases in volume when it's able to, therefore it's filling the slots that the spider mines was in.

3. You probably mean why, because he was promoted into one.

My questions:

1. Why doesn't flying mechanical units break when they 'bump' onto eachother?

2. How can an invincible unit die by the cause of triggers?

1) Planetary Levitation.
2) The Terrans consider it "obsolete".
3) Ask DuGalle.

[right][snapback]575185[/snapback][/right]

1) They're either hovering at different elevations or using anti-crash gravity locks.
2) Same reason why a God can kill himself.

Mine:

1. Why is it that 1 zergling could rip apart a supermassive sized nexus within minutes?
2. Why is it that Archons can damage buildings, while High Templars can't (except Tassadar)?
3. If Psi Disruptor interrupts the communication of the Zerg and its brood master, why doesn't it affect the Protoss's psionic communication via nerve appendages?

1. Because Nexii are actually made out of wet tissue paper.
2. Because Archons have the power of two Templars, and Tassadar was an Über templar.
3. Because Protoss use a different frequency.

Here's some:

1. How come Stukov is shot, and then spontaneously explodes in the campaign?
2. Are Marines really so dumb that they fall for the "any key" computer joke?
3. Why is it that all the aliens speak English?
4. How is it possible for an infinite amount of Marines to come out of a tiny barracks?
5. How do Marines pee inside their suits?

1. The zergling has got sharp claws!
2. High Templars simply has no attack that damages buildings, duh.

1. Ever heard of spontaneous combustion? Starcraft introduces spontaneous implosion!
2. Yes, they are.
3. Only aliens speak English.
4. They got an infinite stock of terran larvas within a bottomless jello-package which they breed marines from.
5. They pee very rare and very much.

1. He secretly had a bomb taped to his body because he was a terrorist. The bomb was what got shot.
2. Yes.
3. Because they've been spying on us for years, we just don't know it. ALIENS!!!
4. The marines are cloned there, which is why they all look, sound, and act alike.
5. It's like an astronaut's suit. They just do, and it's suddenly gone!

My questions:
1. Why don't the Terran outfit all of there stuff with cloaking field generators (BESIDES BALANCE)?
2. Why ISN'T there a movie called Hydralisks on a Dropship?

[right][snapback]575212[/snapback][/right]

1) Game balance; cloaked marine rush would be teh rigged
2) Because Overlords, jealous of the dropship's speed, manipulates the Hydralisks and made the movie Hydralisks on an Overlord instead.

Some more:

1. If hallucinations are a figment of the imagination, why is it you can wall with them?
2. Ultralisks have indestructable monomolecular sharpened Kaiser Blades. Why is it that they suck at destroying buildings compared to zerglings?

1)You can actually go through them, it's just that men stop when they reach them.
2)Cause they attack slower.

1)Why doesn't the little guy in the misle turret take up supply?
2)How do marines all instanteneously get new ammo when you research u-238 rounds?
3)Why did Blizzard leave so many unanswered questions in SC?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Deathawk on 2006-10-11 at 19:57:36

Why is it that a tank is as large as a dropship, yet you can fit two of them into it. And why is a marine even comparable in size to a BC, when there are supposidly like tons of people working on the battlecruiser that you can't see

1. Because he eats metal and drinks oil, which the SCV's put in the turret when they built it.
2. A little wizard man named Henry teleports to each on and gives them the new ammo.
3. Because they wanted threads like this to start to pop up in all the forums around 7 years after Broodwar.

Well.. Duh.. there aren't that many active SeNNers here ya know.

My question:
1) Why can't we use the back end of Corsair as a book light? Its really pretty btw.
2) Why does lurkers burrow to attack? why can't they just melee like zerglings?
3) Why can't seize tank just drop on a water?
4) Why is the guy in the vulture always the same guy?
5) Why aren't there clouds while Psy Storm is raging?
6) Why doesn't Barracks lose electricity when psy storm hits it multiple times?
7) Why can't hydralisk spit be used for laser weapon for marines?

2. They....do?

Questions:

1. How do you see your own cloaked units?
2. How do the colors of the units you mind control change?
3. Why don't the protoss improve on the pylon?

Edit: To the answer to where do all the marines come from- They are civilians, and inside the barracks they are brainwashed. That's what one of the books says at least.

You don't, you just have records of wher they are.

If you can alter all of someones conscienceness with mere thought, altering the colour of something would be easy.

That's an interesting question.

According to Starcraftopedians, the lurkers are sluggish, nearsighted behemoths that shoot (much larger) spines just like Hydralisks. They detect their opponent via vibrations and heat vision. Lurkers can melee, they just aren't very good at it, although their running speed should have a collision powerful enough to impale any ground unit.

Ultimately, it's because of Game Balance.

More Qs:

1. WTF does the blood of biological Terran and Zerg units turn red (corrected) in space when there's obviously no O[sup]2[/sup] in the atmosphere?
2. Why do Drones float, yet still look like they're walking?
3. Why is the fusion of a High Templar (Tassadar) and a Dark Templar (Zeratul) an overpowered Archon (Tassadar/Zeratul) with no spells or unique characteristics?
