I suppose its useful to consider how "new starlight" as visualized by @LobHunter differs from bertha.

Both can be used to suppress units in an area (or snipe mexes if thats your thing).

The starlight-2 would presumably be much better at attacking shields, and much worse against units. A sufficiently dense army might be a decent target, but still less good than bertha, which gets collateral damage rather than "gentle rain of fire".

The starlight-2 would more reliably expose cloaked things, could even sweep an area.

The starlight-2 would be feasible to point at your own army in order to screen for it or remove close-in fleas.

I
visualize
starlight-2
being
harder
to
use
defensively,
because
you
may
not
know
where
the
threat
is
going
to
appear,
and
it
is
slower
to
re-aim.
