Tuxedo Ted posted:I think the Perdition Turret is better suited to your playstyle, Raldan. Plus, having an automated ground defense system that doesn't take up supply points sounds like just what the Terrans need. Both buildings can actually fulfill a similar role. Just because the planetary fortress is morphed from a command center doesn't mean that we can only plant them in mining bases. A planetary at a choke point now means theres a 1500 health building with a big honking cannon to bust through. More expensive (550 min/150 gas compared to 150 min) but beefier. Both of them can be quite useful in different situations.

Voting for: Hellstorm Batteries, Perdition Turrets, and Welcome to the Jungle. Mostly to fill up on Protoss research, but also for some hot "Goliaths killing poo poo" action. Also, that discussion about finding a cure for zerg infestation? Yeeeah, that's a bit of a retcon of the Resurrection IV mission from Starcraft 64. Which wouldn't be too bad, since nearly nobody remembers that version of Starcraft 1, except Raynor himself was directly involved with that mission, making his tone to Hanson about finding a cure a little strange in hindsight. That said, the retcon won't be fully explained until Heart of the Swarm, since it involves a character that appears in that game. Granted, if the Resurrection IV retcon wasn't in place, said HoS character would probably have popped up on the Hyperion by now.

Nice to see this lp is still going, watching the SC2 campaign played by someone who's actually good at the game is a real pleasure. Voting for Hellstorm Batteries, Perdition Turrets and The Great Train Robbery.

Its hard to justify planetary fortresses as a pure defense structure as space is really important in the places you need turrets.

Advanced Medic Facilities, Hellstorm Batteries, you can't afford both but I'm voting for both in the hope at least one wins and Great Train Robbery because of the name.

For upgrades lets grab the G-4 Clusterbombs and play around with them a bit. A Perdition Turret sounds like the better research option. And let's head over to The Great Train Robbery because Diamondbacks are still awesome.

Voting for Hellstorm Batteries and Perdition Turret. As for the mission, voting for Welcome To The Jungle, as Protoss research is really falling behind at this point and it is probably one of the harder missions in the game as well.

Medic Facility and Hellstorm Batteries for cash money spending, Perdition Turrets for research, and Welcome to the Jungle for the mission mission Being able to get two medics at a time can be a real lifesaver. Early on, having access to double marines and medics at the same time can allow for some interesting rushes, especially on missions like the next one(If you go for where I voted). Also marine + medic never really falls out of usefulness. Hellstorm batteries because gently caress the enemy flyers. Last is research, I honestly never found much use for the fortress, I like the ability to lift off too much and rooting my base down for no reason just is a bit much of a negative. I never found much use for the perdition turrets, but they were a useful bit of point defense in a pinch, since they didn't need to be manned. Welcome to the jungle is a good song, and an interesting mission. Pseudo timed and all that. Good resource competition. Getting more Toss research is just icing on that little cake.

Voting Planetary Fortress because big guns. I'm glad you're doing this on brutal, since my own playthrough on brutal got stalled out about I think half way through the campaign partially because of burn-out and the other part being the thought of doing one of the later missions that I found difficult even on normal because I'm not good at being aggressive, and I want to see someone who (probably) knows what they're doing finish that missile.

As long as you aren't sieging/unsieging all of your tanks at once, that's a perfectly viable (if over cautious) strategy. You need other units to cover your tanks, but... that's basically Terran mech, as I understand it.
