The Sensor tower

[Merovingian]

Is out. Check it out. Apparently it's some early warning system, it looks fairly useful but also maybe kinda expensive. I guess this is the end of sneak attacks on terrans? And i wonder if it can spot stealthed or burrowed units...

Also, it seems that building a sensor tower in your base lets everyone know its there, which is probably a huge downside for expansions. I believe that the sensor tower would most likely be used in decoys, primary bases, and expansions that are already discovered by the enemy.

as i remember, missle turrents dont detect clocked ships and the perpouse of the sensor tower is to primarly detect cloacked ships, then can be upgraded into the sensor tower that will detect incomeing enemies from a distance

i heard they scratched that. missile turrets retain their cloak sensor, the purpose of the sensor tower is to spot far away enemies.

i can see the protoss using this to great advantage though, with their hallucinations.
