Neither did mutalisks flying in space...so....yeah.

Oh, and what Human Sheild said. I want a game were either most of the people are from Asia or they're up front and say white America finally beat the darkies and they're now all working in the mines.

Maybe the minerals are like tiberium and can grow anywhere and everywhere. <copout>

What's the problem with mutalisks flying in space? Maybe they can emit a gas for propulsion in zero-g environments.

No. They just use their wings to push from vacuum. See - it's a magic substance - you can even hear the sound in it, even if your ship closed tightly - (c) George Lucas

uh huh, you can call it like that too.

And this all just reminded me of some other words from somewhere, which will also act as a stone thrown at Lucas.

"In space noone can hear your scream.
but they pretty much can hear your fart"
- George Lucas, "Space according to Lucas"

WHy not make those dark templar a kamikadze unit, like the banelings? They make the deadly spin attack that can kill ANY unit (or has a specific chance of doing fatal damage) but at the process of it the dark templar cuts himself to death, too.
I bet it'd be easy to do that in an editor after the game ships hah (unless Blizz do it themselves).

Bright green double energy scythe on a STEALTH unit?
Well the psionic bright essence of the blade is not a concern -- in original starcraft they also had psionic blades but since the entire dark templar along with his weapon is permanently stealthed, the blades are kinda translucent as well. What worries me is the actual contruction of the blades.. it's just not right. Akimbo kama-like blades - fine (though also not practical) but a single double-bladed weapon?? pretty dumb indeed.

Well, Banshees (helicopters) were meant for planetary operations, not space ones. And i guess they can easily deploy their ion boosters for interplanetary voyages. However, i dont understand why use the principle of helicopter at all, if there are hover technologies already widely-used...

Banshees will be usable on space maps, though. The reason helicopters were used is because they look cool. The new dark eldar fail at that, though.
