The Battlecruiser was originally going to be able to have a myriad of upgrades which you could choose to replace the Yamato Cannon, one of which was the Defensive Matrix.  Would only have worked on the BC using it though.

Was scrapped, much like the other abilities.

ya i guess defense drone, pretty useless imo so far for me though, I think the medivac could have it to help protect units even though that would prolly make it op. but to counter this i think heal Should cost a fair amount of energy as a skill to turn on and off etc. i donno would also make thors useful in battle too.

This work will also pave the way for Diablo III & Warcraft 4 being emulated as well.

B.net emulation is only useful until the real game comes out anyway

Playing on an emulated b.net will never be as good as the real thing

Plus all the cheaters on emulated servers makes them crappy

True, not least because sc2 is almost counter-based unit and with a maphack it disrupts the game. If the skill in one was enough to win against a cheater, now no longer suffice 

Hopefully Sc2 will have a strong warden program in the retail version

By their sheild i mean the defense Matrix, Seemed like it was a advancement towards their technology and now nothing, Did they just abandoned hope or have i just not explored all their abilities yet

First off, just like you said, you don't pester them enough. If they are massing carriers than there isn't a true "counter", aside from massing (and by massing I mean maxing out supplies) the race's anti-air. For terran, either mass marines, with stim and shields, with medivacs, or mass vikings (which do work, you just don't build enough).

If you are protoss, either mass phoenixes, stalkers, or void rays.

Just hope you can mass enough and hope for the best.

It's the same thing when someone asked a blizz dev "What do you do if the other player masses 30 battlecruiers?" His response: "Don't let them mass battlecruisers." These are tier 3 units, you should NEVER allow your opponent to mass tier 3 units, or you are doing something horribly wrong.

ya but in sc1 it was balanced enough to use a mix of tier 1 and tier 2 units to easily Micro down mass air, Goons and arbiters for example, or Goliath and science vessel.

You realize that lan is supported in Blizzard's release of SC2 but it just authenticates through the net then runs the game through the lan afterward

Also in like blizzcast 12 or something if you watched they said they will support single player threw a button that says play as guest.

Anybody experiencing this? Currently in my area, we are experiencing daily blackouts. The blackout would often occur while I am watching replays of a game. When the electricity eventually comes back, I would start Starcraft 2 normally; it would then be stuck about 4/5 of the way through loading, it will not load and crashes to my desktop without any error message of sorts.    This would always happen after a blackout and I start Starcraft 2.


Previously, I would reinstall Starcraft 2, wait for it to update to the latest version, put in the maps, the launcher, the a.i. and all. Of course after all that it would work flawlessly. But right now I am growing tired of going through that process after each and every blackout, it takes a really long time to update and right now i can't really stand to wait as i'm really eager to play and try something out. Does anybody have an idea on how i could get it running without having to go through all the trouble of reinstalling it?

i bet the blackout had caused some of your Settings to reset somewhere, happened to my bios settings once. Thats why they say always properly shut down your comp, but i know you cant help it   But if i were you id get a backup power supply to keep it from ruining your computer.

Ive gotten the script error myself a few times. It isnt specific to any races or anything. I think  it has to do with the AI mods and the 6 player map conflicting or something. It says something about "Player X "race" invalid mainstate" or something like that. Doesnt seem to cause any issues on my end though, just play through it and its still great fun.

the ai that gets the error for me is on the bottom double shared base, If no one is there it wont happen, The ai will begin to mine but stops after that

I have a: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. I'm running the admin (and only) account on the computer. I've also tried running the SC2 exe and lazylaunch2 exe as an administrator with the same error.

Integrated graphic cards typically have little to no video memory, and are actually alot less powerful. I just dont think its compatable to run sc2.

Have you tried these maps with the Starcrack Launcher?

Yes they work fine. I deleted all the ones that have AI included in them because it's no longer needed.

I now only have official, unedited maps, and I select what I want to play against.

nibbits.com also has all the maps.
