The GC rush?

NexXus_ · 05-14-2007, 10:17 PM

Most people think the GC is expensive and time consuming. A single SCU builds one in 12.5 minutes at a rate of -106 mass and -1350 energy. Meaning on certain large maps you could get one out by... 35 minutes in to the game, and send one over every 12 minutes. That is, of course, until your eco is even a bit stronger yet.

Get an SCU with the build upgrade and the time is halved, resources doubled. The numbers sound pretty nice to me, sending out a GC every 6 minutes to someone's base.. that'd wreak some havoc.

The GC is almost the same cost (rate-wise anyway) as the T3 arty, but it's done 8 minutes faster.

On certain large maps, the GC would also take 10-15 minutes to get to your enemies base, though

the only thing about that is that the GC is the slowest unit and it would take so long for it to get there that your enemy probably would've seen it and built gunships or bombers to counter.

People wouldn't make the GC and win with it if it was so easily countered.

remember that 20-30 gun ships could take it down in no time whatsoever, if your opponent finds it earlly.
