As I searched for a BlizzCon impressions article which said Zealots do poorly against Zerglings, I looked at the Staff Impressions from SC Legacy and...well, I stumbled upon something strange.

I was able to get two Phoenixs quickly over and assisted my stalkers in eliminating the major threats to my void rays. I was able to raze DiscipleOfAdun's base in a matter of a few minutes. However, DiscipleOfAdun transformed two of his Starports into Starbases, and moved them away from his base. My two Phoenixs found the one and destroyed, but couldn't destroy the second before the time limit expired, so the game was technically a draw. It was an exciting match, and I look forward to our next one.

As most of you will know, Star Base has been removed from StarCraft II since September last year. And yes, there are the BlizzCon 2008 impressions. So, as you can imagine, I feel completely perplexed currently...

Huh, I wish they keep it, the starport gives a dynamic that no other race has, with possible exception to warp prism warp in.

I think he was saying that they lifted off, and since Starbases are perpetually in lift off mode, he made a freudian slip.

Yeah he probably was typing away and wasn't really thinking about it.

But this isnt just a name slip...he clearly mentioned a transformation process

So that raises the question:
What is the Starport/Starbase?
And what ' transformation' occurs here?

The Star Base was an upgrade for the Starport, making the Terran building for flying units be able to change into a permanently hovering building and produce while in this mode. It could also "recharge" units with energy.
