Well Zealot_Alec I think I could answer a few of your Questions based on the stats, but not on rates/timers and stuff like that.. Mostly about the Queens though..

A, B and C:
First of all Queens're possibly unlimited (you can have 100 of them if you want to at most, but for what cause..??).. It's the Hatch/Lair/Hive that Saturates.. It's not the CD of the Queen in question.. I think at the GStar vids there was a single Queen used to aid both the main and the nat in zig-zag simultaneously..

Although still think that there is some kind of a virtual CD - the Production Buildings can't be Extra-Larvae over-saturated.. Which means - A Hatch/Lair/Hive can have 7 Larvae max at a time, but that happens min on 28 sec of gameplay..

There can be an excess of queens to aid a battle if you want, but still don't seem as a good battle-support caster to me..

I haven't played the game yet, but as far as I know - Queen doesn't have a Hero-to-Altar status.. It's a regular unit.. Yet instead of it taking a Larva - it doesn't need one to be produced..

So - it's clear that It's not as you thought.. You can have as much Queens as you want.. You can even queue them at a Hatch.. But what's that all for ?? Some early over-Turtling ?? They're later really useless due to lack of mobility.. It ends up being as the same, but Queens aren't Revived.. They're produced regularly..

D and E - not sure whether maybe Lair/Hive has a greater saturation limit, but seems as it really isn't..

4) I'll take a Guess at this one - it's probably IMO 3..
10) most likely.. :)

========================================================================
However - here's a Question/two I'd like to ask..

I've heard that Reaper bullets "penetrate shields"..

Any vid that might prove that Reapers strike directly to HP no matter of the Shields.. ?? If so - does anyone know If Archons (and Probes offcource) are kinda "Immunes" to this "shield penetration".. ??

IMO they should be..

@Vasrso,

I don't think so. Think of it, a Reaper's bullet would penetrate the shield, but the higher kaliber Gauss Rifle of the Marine wouldn't...

Got a question here.Too lazy to check the forums or through 700 posts,so sorry if this has been asked before.

Will SC2 be avaible on windows XP?I recently changed over so my comp would be more homework friendly. I know blizz said there exploring other engines for your comp,but Im wondering about XP,cause even brood wars latest version doenst work on XP. (or atleast mine)

How does the weapon refit work for the battlecruiser.

@No Refuge I believe you first research the u[grade from the anti-matter reactor(or what ever it is called no a days) . After that you can simply select the the BC then select Yamato, DM, or Missile pods.

@Jellybeans I am not sure.

So like, you end up with a battlecruiser that has it's permanent weapon as a yamato cannon or missile pods? And if so, what are the stats like, for cool down etc.

Yes, the weapon is permeant. As for stats look in the Armory guide other than that we do not know well I do not know maybe Psi has something.

How do you use a picture for your signature?

EDIT: also, what are the size dimensions for signature pics?

I would like to know this and where the hell to find pictures that are that type of size @_@

Can infesters be seen moving underground? ie is there like a shimmer(or equivalent of) that there is for cloaked units moving?

(dont answer me with "a detector duh")

@ Slaanesh there is no *shimmer* or dust. Infesters are invisible to everyone but you.

How many people are in side of a Battlecrusier?

@Slaanesh: marik is right, its burrowed movement, burrow is invisible and their movement is invisible thats why detectors are essential.

allso marik i would think that there would be things about 1000 people. Since there are the engineers, maintenance, crew and so on.

I am just wondering if the following notebook graphic card is able to meet the requirements of Starcraft 2?? And how well can it supposrt Starcraft 2? Lower intermediate? Intermediate? Or upper intermediate?

Graphic Card Model - GeForce 8400M GS
Video Memory - 128M
DirectX version - 10

@Slaanesh I think there was an old b.net blizzard post(sorry could not find) that stated that the game developers where trying to give the infestor something like a slime trail. This is to not give the unit an advantage over other clocked units like DT where you can see the shimmer to pick up that there are clocked units in the area. The post was some time ago so I do not know if this made it in game and if this is still there perhaps Darkn3ss or Stebo can confirm.
