This is not a Pimpest play you have just missed, this is something I just figured was pretty pimp/smart that I'd share with you guys for my 4000th post.
The setup:
Me and a teammate(arb) decide to play a practice TvT. Throughout the entire game, no one maintained a huge lead. In fact, it became a form of a stalemate. On God's Garden, the players spawned at both the top and bottom of the left side, slowly taking territory as they advance toward the right side. 20 minutes in, the map is split. Both players have 6 gas and the bases mirror eachother, guarded by lines of tanks, fields of mines, and clusters of missile turrets. Not much else you can do, but tech to BC's! Both players mirroring eachother, maxing their BC fleet out. It was one move that forced the other to step forward.
Purple lifted his factories off since they were both maxed and only going to produce BCs and flew them towards greens base as bait for green to come out and kill purples stuff. After he moved out to kill it, purple used that time to EMP greens battlecruisers to render his yamato useless while he charged in with his.

this. maybe if you engaged just then but there was time for green to recover after the factory died. if you're talking about how the factory gave vision to the BC's, a science vessel could have done the same.

It wasn't really for vision, since I had like 6 scanners full of energy, but to get him to come out from the protection of his turret walls from the corner of the map. The vessel reaction could have been a little faster, but worked nonetheless.
EDIT: what goldenkrnboi said too, to clump them together and so that the vessel didn't die before it got an EMP off.
the factory clumped all of green's battlecruisers together, purp got the emp off before green could split them again. if purp had used the science vessel, it probably would have died before it could get the emp out
The other guy took advantage and nearly caught every single one of them in a single EMP. The guy split them into two groups, but still apparently got the majority of the BCs with enough energy for yamato, it would seem.
It's just a lot of shouting and hollering and cheering because the green team used their famous combo move or something. I just figured it would add to the funniness
