Hi,
I was wondering if any patch updates are still written down in the help menu?
Also, the hellion has become even more useless now, imo.
Since patch 1.4, blue flame only gives +5 bonus instead of +10. The upgrade still costs 150 minerals and is far less usefull. I suggest, to increase the usefulness of hellions, to reduce the upgrade cost to 100 and increase the bonus to +10.
And if anything like this is done, please release patch notes.

Only if the enemy has a very one-sided army... (which is not often )
I guess the extra cost of the blue-flame upgrade was meant against harvesters. Since there are no harvesters in Desert Strike, it might be a good idea to consider changing the way it works now ...

agreed, developers, please...what do you think of this, or do you have any ideas to make the hellion even remotely useful?

I like to use them going full mech as terran, but most of the time they are just there to keep enemie units away for a sec to give my stronger tanks or thors time to position. Having a lot of them, they serve to kill massive zerglings or zealots. They fail against marines as they do no real areadamage on them. That upgrade is really too expensive for just +5.
Also please keep us updated on what you are doing with the map, this sucks to be uninformed and to discover old bugs.

Very true: There are still quite some bugs that can be found in this forum that remain unfixed...
