It's cool Terran structures can fly!

I was playing a game this morning, and I attacked the opponent's base with maraudon and tank. he upgraded CC to Fortress and built turrets too, so there was no way to destroy it without tank. while I'm destroyng it with tank, he lifted up all structures and ran away. and the worst thing is that he kept doing it. It took like almost one hour, and I couldn't even win because of the server maintenance. i know i would won if it went on, but it would take too long. I don't think BC would make any difference.

I know he is kinda dumb, but I think there should be some preventive methods for abusing structure flight.

I feel so bad anyway.

 

If it was going on for over an hour, then why the hell didn't you build some air units to deal with it...

 

Fortresses cant lift up afaik.

 

I would've gotten Vikings after the first time he lifted off. They can deal with land and air. Or get marines to take care of the turrets.

 

bottom line: you gotta know what you're up against when you play.

seriously, though, buildings don't even move that fast. just about any unit, air or land, should be able to chase him down if you already had his army pinned down.

 

Also: troll much?

 

Like another said, if you would have built a starport and started pumping out vikings, his flying buildings wouldn't have lasted long. But if it took over an hour because he was using the abilities well and somehow rebuilt his base, then that's just part of the game and playing against Terran =)

 

I thought the OP was going to say he had no idea they could fly. It's not like it's a obvious thing buildings can do and not everyone checks the manual or have played SC1. It was like a replay with someone that had never seen the Brood Lords early in the Beta and got really surprised they attacked him

 

So the flying buildings should be removed so noobs dont get confused?

lol, really it probably happens to people once or twice but at that point you really had won the game, next time just react a bit faster in pumping out AA (or just Air to Air fighters) Mr. OP and you wont have to worry about that again.

 

lol picturing u chasing the buildings down with ur tanks is quite funny

 

I must agree with some posters before.. And not to mention that you have a base and all he has is a flying building or two. Surely this building should have been found and killed after like 3-4 minutes tops as it's incredibly slow.

I'd love to watch a replay of that. Seeing siege tanks chase after flying building. THIS INTENSE MICRO MEANS I CANNOT MACRO SOME AIR UNITS!!!

 

"THIS INTENSE MICRO MEANS I CANNOT MACRO SOME AIR UNITS!!!"

If you're having trouble targeting a flying building with a siege tank, then you might want to consider that siege tanks cannot hit flying units.

 

My last game.

Scrap station P(me)vT

Fast warp gate/fast DT/lots and stalkers at my choke/put a DT at every expansion.

It's really ****ing annoying when a T player does this when he clearly can't win.
He couldn't build or mine.

Guess what? I tracked his CC's with observers and put up two stargates to make void rays to mop him up.

Annoying; but it too less then 5 mins for the official win.

 

Did you try hooking up some battle cruisers? They will make short work of them I'm sure.

 

Generally spreading marines all over the place with vikings is easy enough.

If you are finding it that hard you can also pin them down by building some turrets randomly.

 

Vikings, use them

 

It's even cooler shooting them down with Vikings.

 

I agree with so many posters before...why the hell did you not mass vikings or marines to take down the floating buildings?

 

He hasn't answered yet?... maybe hes too ashamed to answer now since he finally found out how stupid that post really was xD (sorry)

 

That was quite rude, Makki...
