Carnate 1 Posted February 12, 2009 I have a question about the Brood War: Lockdown: The card says, science vessels and corsairs loose their attack capabilities. What does that mean? Irradiate, EMP, etc. is discarded when you use lockdown? Because the science vessel doesnt have attack capability, except its reinforcement cards.

Stefan 732 Posted February 12, 2009 The part about Science Vessels is bull. They loose something they don't have. Lockdown affects the FLU, AFAIK. Nothing more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They may have an attack capability if the science vessel is the only unit he uses nimor values on the combat card and this value is what can be lost by Lockdown I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They may have an attack capability if the science vessel is the only unit he uses nimor values on the combat card and this value is what can be lost by Lockdown I think Science vessels have no attack capability for either ground or air units. In that section of the game card all they have indicated is that they are an air unit with no air or ground attack capability. In their support section they have indicated that they are an assist unit and act as a detector. Since they have no ground or air attack ability, even if they end up in the frontline and using minor values, they don't have any capability to affect ground or air units. This is why the lockdown doesn't actually affect them - they don't have any attack capabilities to lose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Railarian 0 Posted March 20, 2009 The only way I could see a lone assist unit killing someone is a defiler with the "auto-splash" card (sorry I don't remember the exact name) So if ever a science vessel is alone in a skirmish, the best it can do is survive... for some time...

I believe that also a queen alone may kill a unit with spawn broodings or a dark archon with feedback but truth is that only with their special abilities on tech cards.

Stefan 732 Posted March 23, 2009 Just so. There is really no way that a lockdown on an assist unit could mess their capabilities because they simply HAVE NONE that would be affected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
