Medivac dropship

Medivac Dropships will appear in StarCraft II. They are produced at the Starport, with no add-ons required.

Game Unit
The Medivac Dropship touches down to unload units, behavior that was previously seen in the original StarCraft Alpha, but not the final edition.

There is a one second delay between every dropped unit.

Healing
The Dropship has been given a healing ability, transforming it into the Medivac Dropship and enabling it to heal mobile units such as Reapers as an auto-cast ability.

The Medivac Dropship heals infantry units below it with a visible animation, likely in the form of floating nanites. The speed at which it heals is currently subject to balancing. The Medivac Dropship currently heals much faster than Brood War Medics.

Development
The Medivac Dropship was designed as a replacement for the Medic, as pairing Marines and Medics would still be stronger than Reapers. As Medics were unable to jump themselves, this would make Reapers nearly useless. The use of the Medivac Dropship would allow greater flexibility.

Blizzard is currently deciding where the Medivac Dropship should feature on the tech tree and how it should be developed as unit, possibly upgrading it from a standard Dropship. If this is the case, the Medivac Dropship will look like an "ambulance ship". Another issue to deal with is the issue of power-Marines could be dropped off, wreck havoc and be healed afterwards for instance.
