New carrier micro was discovered on Ygosu korean forums the other day.
This involves having binding an probe/another unit with carrier group, and using SH micro.
Carriers normally target 1 unit at a time but this method allows interceptors to target multiple unit at the same time.
SH micro can be used while moving.
How SH micro changes carrier behavior
1. Interceptors Stand-by inside carrier
If you press hold within range 8, interceptor will attack one by one. Unlike doing single target fire under normal circumstances, interceptors will spread it's damage like other air unit sh micro
2. Interceptors Deployed mode
When bound with probe, when pressing S key, interceptors will not retreat back
3.Intercepors stand-by outside of carrier (leashed mode)
when bound with probe, when pressing S key, interceptors will retreat back into carrier and changes to stand-by mode inside carrier

Mechanics behind SH micro:
When you use H micro when interceptors are inside carrier to make it deployed, interceptors will spread damage, and since there is no specific attack target, normally, interceptors will not respond to H key and will go back inside carrier
However, when you press S key repeatedly, only interceptors that are standing by outside of carrier will go back inside carrier, and pressing H again will spread the damage

Results:
Carriers have 8 range, but spreads its damage around instead of hitting single target+overkill
FBH tests on time to kill 200 SCVs result:
Normal A-move:
2 minute 35 seconds
SH micro:
1 minute 22 seconds
2 minute 35 seconds
SH micro:
1 minute 22 seconds
Uses:
-According to FBH, very useful micro to know, but situationally good.
-Will be useful vs multiple targets with low range. Situations like vs wraith/scourges , vs bio, vs hydra, when harassing mineral line.
-When you need to kill mass amount of units, this micro will be superior to regular micro.
-Will rarely be good vs goliaths
-Unlike total recall, which is situational and takes time to set up, this micro can be done with very little setup and done freely when situation allows it to do so, so FBH thinks that this will be lot more applicable

FBH mentions that this would probably have changed Mini vs Mong outcome to Mini's win if Mini knew this micro ahead of time

Tl;dr: less range, more damage
