New Science Vessel?

[capthavic]

Does anyone have any pics/info about the new science vessel?

[burkid]

its called the nomad, and it looks gay.

[DontHate]

do you have pictures of this gay nomad? I thought the vessel in sc1 also looked very bad too.

[capthavic]

I heard but I haven't seen any pics myself.

[burkid]

i think paragon posted one somewhere. it looks really bad.

[capthavic]

Can someone give a link?

[burkid]

im looking for it.

[Fenix]

do you have pictures of this gay nomad?


Bwa ha ha....Best line ever. You wish DontHate

[burkid]

oh it's a science vessel... it does look pretty dumb (read: very dumb) compared to the science vessel

[capthavic]

Buh!

I wasn't a fan of the previous design but that's much worse. Come on Blizz, you can do better.

[burkid]

i told you its gay.

[Fenix]

Hm. If the prongs are the front, it'd look not half-bad. As it is, it's crap.

[capthavic]

Hmm I think they should at least remove those two ugly yellow arm thingies on the front. But a complete redesign would be better.

[Broken_Heart]

Eeeww!
The old science vessel looks bad enough, but this is even worse! I think it should look like a satellite. It would be better even if they just keep the old science vessel from SC1.

[IO]

Ummm... welll... yeaaaa

It looks very ummm whats the word:

Strange

But most of its abilities seem good and anyway hopefully blizard will once again listen to us and change it like they did with the tank.

Oh and who says the prongs aren't in the frount as it is very confusing looking.

[Outcaster]

wtf is that, that my fellow blizzard friends needs a NEW LOOK totally

[Eye_Carumba]

I kinda liked the flying saucer look of the old Science Vessel. Whats the point of having a boomerang ship? Will it come back after you send it to battle? NO. Perhaps it's meant to have a docking bay look because it can auto-repair air units close to it. Still, a very ugly design. Please, it should be redone. Make it like a metal arab tent if you will, would be innovative an cooler than this... thing!


And would match the name. Afterall, to be able to fix so many diferent ships, it should have many spare parts around, just like a flea market has gadgets.

i think the nomab is hidden by the bcs on this pic. so it is already included in the game.
i can see its "feet". its ugly, looks like a frog.

science vessel model is better. but the name nomad is ok, just change the model.

[Fenix]

Ugh, noooo!!

Nice catch though 11. I'd :powerup: but I already did for the 1000 club

[DontHate]

it looks like the aluminum falcon, but worse. Also the 2 propellor things outside are not terran at all, sort of like the gyrocopter. jesus they shoudl have engines.

[kenshin72]

EWW WAT IS THAT.....MONSTOROSITY :(

[ShdwyTemplar]

That my friend is the Terran "Ugly"(Nomad). Although, I demand they remodel is to look more Terran-ish. I mean really are they seriously meaning to make that the equivalent of this? Seriously Blizzard please rethink that image. :bigcry:

[Eye_Carumba]

It's the most hated look of all times. Shooting Santa is nowhere near as bad as the Nomad's design. Someone should make them a nice sketch for them to exchange.

Or even, exchange the name to H.B.O.N.D. (Hunch-back-of-Notre-Dame). Exchanging it with any zerg structure/unit would make it look more beautifull.

[xasterothx]

well at least it doesnt look like a ball...well if they made the sv a bit bigger it wouldve been cool

[string_me_along]

The science vessel looks like crap. The nomad looks (if possible) worse. please plz please make it better?

Actually I think I'd rather it be balanced and functional than good looking. But why can't we have all three?

[string_me_along]

do you have pictures of this gay nomad? I thought the vessel in sc1 also looked very bad too.


Most hilarious line I have read in this forum.

[BnechbReaker]

old sv avatar was much cooler as well. new avatar looks like an uneducated idiot with it's baseball cap

[Ghost]

Thats really what he was meant to look like in SC1...

[capthavic]

Actually thats the avatar for the SCV, blizz has been using filler avatars for a bunch of units.

[AnArchY]

Does anyone know if this will still have the Irradiate spell or another biological warfare ability? I think the Terran should have something like that in their arsenal still.

[LordKerwyn]

I think the irridate ability wasa removed.

[burkid]

at least, its no longer on the science vessel. Nomads have EMP, Defensive Matrix Field, and Nano Repair(something like that). and its still a detector.

[Itsmyship]

Eh....I dunno what to think of nano repair. I like it, I really do, but I'm not sure if I wanna get rid of Irradiate...tthe anti zerg for the Terran.

[burkid]

i know, but it is pretty nice, an instant 200 hp to any freindly mechanical for 75-100 energy (i cant remember which). so itll be useful, but not as much as irradiate was.

[BnechbReaker]

irradiate absolutely owned lurkers, defilers and guardians. i hope it'll return, it just doesn't make any sense to remove their most effective abilities

[b0urne]

maybe this science vessel design is a total spoof, made to confuse fanboys of the SC franchise..

..NO WAY they're serious
