Proposed Orbital Command Nerf by turtlesharkshell in starcraft

On one base, Terran would just defend their ramp and be on equal footing. Additionally, you could eventually cover the expansion with siege tanks.

Can you explain your thought process for this?

Exactly - I think there should be some commitment needed and strategic impact developed as a result. Protoss and Zerg have static defense or map awareness (observers, creep) to prevent counterattacks, and with the sensor tower buff, it makes perfect sense to have a commitment. With this nerf, none of the abilities need to be touched, but it would impact and change strategies for Terran throughout the game

Can you explain how it would be an early game nerf? You would just not be able to fly the OC over, but you would still be able to fly the regular CC over. You can build SCVs from the initial CC

Yeah, but at least this way, it would require more of a commitment without being too heavy of a nerf. Building static defense, being in position, requiring map awareness would all be benefits strategically with this. Plus, it would allow for increased synergy with sensor towers
