Starcraft Errata

[Lemmy]

Have you noticed that the first Starcraft is full of errors?

-For example, the lings portrait looks nothing like the lings on the cinematics. The portrait is the dinosaur/dog thing, but in the movies the ling has a face similar to the hydra.
-There are also different versions of goliaths. The in-game goliath sprite doesnt look like the goliath on the UED victory movie, which has missiles on its back and one cannon between its legs ( :o). Instead, it has the "twin autocannons".
-The wraiths use lasers to destroy air things on the movies, though they are supposed to attack only ground with lasers (actually, it was originally a missile air-to-air fighter, burst lasers had to be researched in the control tower. check your sc manual)
-At the back of the case/box there are 2 gameplay images. In one of them the mutalisk is using a different attack. Originally the glaive worm attack belonged to the queen (again, chek manuals). In the other one, a protoss / terran fleet is assaulting a zerg base on a platform. The arbiters arnt cloaking the protoss units.
-There are many removed units that still can be seen in the cinematics... http://www.custom-creations.org/~starsite/imagesgallery/beta3.jpg
The 2 units that are on the top left corner can be seen in the end of the terran sc campaign video.

By the way what the **** does the SC intro have to do with the game? Who are those idiots? What are they doing? Stealing garbage? Why do the protoss attack them? Does it have something to do with the destruction of Mar Sara? I really dot think so, since that video came out as a trailer... in the diablo 1 CD released... in 1996.

Do you know any bugs/errors? I mean real screw-ups. Not stuff like "At the back of the CD the zerg is sending guardians against air"

Many misteries...

welll you see the UED was originally suppost to be another race but the idea was scrapped before the game was released so those unknown ships could be UED ships (who knows they may have already thought up of a expansion at the time of this screen). Anyway this screenshot seems to allow the scouts to bank and twist before turning i wonder why that was edited out it would have been a nice effect along with the engine trails.

The 2 units above are Valkyries. they were made long ago but decided to not put it in the original SC and used for the expansion. the intro is the protoss' first eno****er with the terrans destroying the planet, its in the storyline somewhere.

Yeah, I've always wondered why the trailer is of those two rednecks searching for something; if you remember, they say, "What do you see?", the other guy says, "Looks like a bunch of Terran remains", or something like that, so I think they were looking at stuff after the destruction of Mar Sara, though I don't think I remember seeing Mar Sara in the background. They should have made another trailer, because that was kinda weird when I first saw it.
