Would this put me too much behind?

I have this idea for the map desert oasis : Do you think it would be viable to lift my CC at the start (or soon after) and place it at my natural and just not use the main after that? Reason is Im having problems against blinking stalkers/reapers.

a better idea would be to move to the gold mineral expansion and hope he doesn't scout it

That would make you too vulnerable to just a frontal attack.

I would think your base would be more vulnerable at your natural since there are no chokes to defend on. It's just a wide open space for the enemy to attack from any direction.

Why would that even be a vaguely viable strategy? Your economy would be so far behind that when the reaper got to your base he would just go scout your natural and then kill all your probes.
If you think there is going to be some sort of reaper harassment, just chrono boost a gate and make 1 stalker. Put it in your mineral line and BAM the reapers are rendered completely useless.

Yeah I was pretty sure to get those kind of answers, I guess I just hate the map...

Thanks everyone!

Ok, so you want to lose time to float your CC a decent distance away, gaining no mineral benefit like gold patches, just because you are not confident in your play vs. 2 unit types? this is a bad idea. marauders are very strong against stalkers, so just scout all over the place, and use marauders. Against reapers, marines are very effective, so I would recommend those.

It takes 60 seconds to move a CC from the starting position to the natural. A 10 rax Reaper completes in 137 seconds. Your opponent would be confused for a bit, but I don't think it's viable. You'd probably be better served lifting to the island... but I still wouldn't recommend it. It's better to just learn how to stop it.

yeah I guess going for gold would be better in a way. Just being able to defend is what I am missing here.

Thanks again.

Next time you have an idea for something like this just go

what's good about doing this? X
what's bad about doing this? everything but X in this case

This because of all the reasons listed above. If you are against a decent opponent when he scouts you he's gonna know you lifted off, and you are going to be so behind you're screwed.
