Terran Units

SCV

Overview
The Terran military construction vehicle is hardier than the competition's, and is capable of erecting any structure and repairing any damaged structure or mechanical unit.

How It Has Changed
The SCV remains unchanged, but the advent of the Terran Medic means SCVs can now be quickly restored to full health should they be damaged, even though they can still repair one another.

Recommended Uses

SCV

Construction and resource-gathering. Repairing damaged units and structures, especially in groups. Last-ditch defense. Base expansion, in groups.

Further Detail
SCVs are the strongest worker unit, and you should not hesitate to use them to defend against preemptive enemy attacks by Zerglings. SCVs remain your best scout early in the battle. A single Medic in your supply line can keep all your SCVs in perfect working condition; don't waste time and minerals using pairs of SCVs to repair one another when a Medic can do it faster and for free.
