About this converter
Brood War gas runs 25 to 350 per unit, and casters drink deepest per mineral. Firebat, Medic and Hydralisk open at 25, Dragoon at 50, Ghost at 75, Siege Tank, Wraith, Mutalisk, Queen and Reaver at 100, High Templar and Defiler at 150, Science Vessel at 225, Carrier at 250, Battlecruiser at 300 and Arbiter at 350. That makes an Arbiter fourteen Firebats in gas. Minerals sit in the companion table while gas is rowed here. Every figure here is the vespene part of the manual cost.
How to use it
Pick two units and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Arbiter against Firebats to price the stasis fleet at fourteen to one in gas.
Gas-free units like Marines, Zealots, Zerglings, Drones and Vultures cost zero gas and stay out since zeros break ratios. Upgrades like Siege Tech at 150 gas sell separately and stay out. Dropship at 100 gas stays out to hold sixteen rows. Dropship at 100 gas stays out to hold sixteen rows. Campaign prices match melee for these rows.
