Patch 1.4: Orbital at 17

Since patch 1.4 increased the barracks building time with 5 secs, I feel like I have so much idle CC time when I try to go orbital at 16, since you already used to have a few seconds delay and with the new patch 5 secs are added. Would it be better to go orbital command at 17 supply (so squeezing in one extra SCV) ?

can you just go 14 refienry, making it the same timing as before? if not, then i'd say rather make one scv less and get the oc faster.

i actually dont see the problem with 15 OC.. can do it without delay.

bump  ;)  this is the way it's meant to be done:

10 Depot, 12 Rax, 13 or 14 Gas, 15 OC

Yeah its still the best to go orbital at 15 like before. Some gas first builds might open up different timings.

Isn´t it this how u played it before?
For me it is still the same.. before and after patch..

With gas first i usually get my OC at 16/17

no it's not like before the patch. you always had orbital at 16, wth a marine in queue^^

technically if you do it like that the marine and OC should be made at the same time.

Its not a mineral issue, just takes too much time to build :S

obviously it's only a time issue, since the only thing what got changed ts the 65 second barracks, nothing else
