    No, actually. Just air units. Which makes it even less black holey

    hey sorry if someone answered this question but i never checked becuase i'm too lazy, is there friendly fire with the black hole? like can your allied ships or your own ships fall into it?

    can blackhole suck up a bunch of lifted off terran buildings? imagine a base lifts off and you blackhole them!


    and, what happens if an enemy ship isn't sucked in completely and the blackhole finishes?

    Maybe it sucks stuff in until there is nothing left in the area. Maybe if you keep feeding it ships it will stay open. It seemed to close right after the last battlecruiser was sucked in.

    in our speculations, most seem to believe that there is freindly fire.
    im pretty sure that buildings can be sucked in, as ive said previously.
    that is a good question

    but wouldn't it be cool if buildings went "Weeeeeee" down the blackhole? anyway, i dream of it. but there is only so much that the ability can do

    If only the mothership is in the area (ie no other units) and opens a black hole in front of it, but far away enough to not be sucked in, would the line of sight behind the black hole disappear due to the light getting sucked in? Or do you guys think the area behind will still be visible what with how it's not a real black hole?

    Well obviously its not a real black hole, otherwise it wouldn't disappear so quickly. I'm just wondering, if it can suck in a battlecruiser then it's plausible that it can also suck in light, thus making it impossible to see around it if you only have one unit present

    Personally, i'd like the Black Hole to have a "rip/implosion" effect on the ships rather than them becoming craplong looking like foam toys that's been yanked too much.
    Think a shockwave from a nuke except reversed. It would be awesome.

    As humans, we have never achieved a PERFECT vaccum, we know what would happen in theory, but not in practice. So maybe the toss have developed the ability to create a small area of PERFECT and complete vaccum, this may lead to the laws of physics desperate suction of all nearby solids to occupy the space.

    As far as we know, maybe theyll make the black hole neutral for balance issues.

    Can the mothership blackhole itself if it does also affect your units?

    It's possible that it can deploy a blackhole and get itself voided. It makes no sense that the use of a black hole effects everything except the mothership. Why would the mothership be spared? How could it be spared? Have the Protoss perfected some anti-black hole technology? Then if that is the case, the use of the black hole should have no effect on any Protoss war bird.

    Ok, So Heroes are in single player right? What would happen if they put a Mothership in a really hard Terran mission where you like have the Hyperion? Would there be the possibility of it being sucked like the rest of your fleet? Would you need to learn how to avoid a blackhole casting so you don't lose the game in a matter of minutes? ;D

    Yes, yes I know, this isn't really relevant!
