New SC2 Unit: Nomad

It looks like a toy. Making it grittier would work.

As for the Thor, it's true that it needs more of a defined role, instead of just a giant unit with big guns (like the Mothership (though it's a lot more useful now)).
Making it a mobile fortress would be nice. It attacks air and ground, but only one at a time. Plus another tactical ability.

I think the whole strange look of the nomad (the colours) is because (according to Starcraft2.com) it's not supposed to be a war machine, instead it's something used to just protect outskirt colonies, usually piloted by voluntary civilians (like voluntary firestations and things like that).

Ye, like an old tractor. And tractors doesn't have camo colours, does they ?

Maybe the two "hand guns" would still attack ground-only, but then would retract and the big back-guns could be AOE Flak cannons. Low damage attack, yet lots of flak.

Edit: The nomad was used by civilians, but it would still look grittier cas' its still a spaceship. Pretty hard to wash such things lol.
