Carriers are not an anti-battlecruiser unit, why are you comparing them? Wraith, scout, corsair, devo/muta, plague, hydra, ghost, those are big ship killers. Carriers are more of a safe air assult ship. A carrier can destroy a lot more bases then a BC. A BC gets damaged eventually, the carrier just builds new interceptors.
Battlecruisers don't really last that long. I went up to making about 8 in a game and they died pretty quickly. They are always exposed to fire, I'll rather have a pack of guards protected by muta and devo if I go for an air force.
I loved Battlecruisers. They were so ergonomical and functional. The Yamato gun is actually kind of pointless, but just the regular laser batteries do wonders when you have twelve Battlecruisers. I'd wager my money on twelve Battlecruisers vs. twelve Carriers any day.
Are you kidding me? Carriers would win in almost any situation! Battlecruisers shoot so slowly, for one thing, and there would be ninety-six cruisers shooting at those slow little Terran contraptions! Unless the Carriers weren't full of Interceptors, the Battlecruisers would be gone in a flash!

Battlecruisers > Carriers, Punk, it's not even worth discussing. Carriers have very weak damage. The thing is, that's not what Carriers are for.
And if you got 96 (way beyond the pop limit nvm the 50 probes and extra army) Carriers you are playing in some lame game format like UMS or Fastest and that doesn't count. There are certain intervals when equations become upside down.
Play Protoss, place lots of cannons, and sit and build Carriers while the other players fight it out. Then you can just waltz in with twelve carriers and obliterate their base. If you're playing versus actual people, throw in some Dark Templar for ground support.
If you think my strategy sucks, try for a phrase somewhat more creative than "omfg your strategy sucks balls". Please?

Whaaaat? You're weird, dude. Battlecruisers are all all purpose air unit. And I wasn't directly comparing them at all. I just happen to know with their collective rate of fire, twelve of them can easily defeat twelve Carriers. One on one though the Battlecruisers have far less chances of survival.
Godz, nobody else has actually seen Carrier vs. 'Cruiser? Well, me neither but my little freshman sister has. She was the Battlecruisers and cried.

That's called camping and by the time you get 12 carriers I have 6+ expansions and a ton of multicolored zerg units. At most you get a double expansion but that won't save you. Protoss only goes Carriers when they have 2+ expansions and that is not the beginning of the game.
I played a guy who went Carriers (after a very, very long game where he build everything and he ended up with 3 expansions), and it took him 36+ carriers to get rid of me. I defeated two groups of 12 when the last group of 12 took me over because my bases ran out of minerals.
I mean, either you are playing against some noobs or you are playing fastest, the carrier camp tactic is just not going to work.

BC's are a slow moving flying vehicle which is hard to repair. They can be good against certain creatures but they are by no means all-purpose.
Again, Carriers are not an anti-bc unit and carriers != bc's and stop comparing them. They are both expensive big ships but that is where the similarity ends.

Err, she does tell all bc's to attack one cruiser at a time, right?

Okay, I'll concede that actually that they aren't all purpose units. But accompanied by a couple Scient Vessels and some air-to-air units, you can accomplish a lot with them.

Er, you don't have a point then, the question is not what works against the computer, but rather, what doesn't... I mean, you can defeat a comp with one-base air muta rush, lololol.

But if you have science vessels I have my rubbish so it all goes back to SC being a carefully balanced game.

You're right, of course. But my brother (the brother who supplies me with all the good games) has moved and taken Starcraft with him. :mad:
