Starcraft II’s Sensor Tower Revealed

Unfortunately, new info on Starcraft II seems to be few and far between. But, we’ll take what we can get. So a new update on the Starcraft II site has revealed a new structure: the Terran Sensor Tower. It functions pretty much like a Missile Turret from the first game, except with a longer detection range and no defenses of its own. It will allow you to see approaching enemies, even cloaked ones, as small icons before they come into visual range. The drawback to this is you’ll only see how many units are coming, but not what type. So you could have a whole squad of carriers coming in, but all you’ll see are some small red circles. Still, they’re pretty essential for defense, and anyone attacking would want to take them out first. You can also check out some videos of the Sensor Tower in action on the Starcraft II site.
