seems difficult to execute precisely though, plus the fact that scourge will take out your shuttle?

Nah... early on you don't have scourge. Scourge comes after your observers

How do you speed drop a large number of dropships at the same time.
I have seen pros do it. They unload the units in their dropships one at a time while moving at the same time..
For one dropship, this is done by clicking "unload all" on top of the dropship.
But is there any simpler way to use this same technique but with more than one dropship? Without having to click "unload all" on every individual dropship? Theoretically clicking unload all, then clicking the exact center of all the dships while they're moving... would do it. However, once you get quite a large number, it's very difficult to find the exact center (unless you stack them all or something, but that's dangerous... >>;; So most pros just do the unload-click for each transport as fast as possible, which is pretty fast :x
Thanks for your help ^^ I finally understand the concept, just applying it takes a bit of work

When you send scourge to hit a vessel, if you send 12 lings along the marines will auto target the lings and your scourge may make it the extra mile. This is especially good in ZvsP if you are killing obs.
Your opponent will do lots of predictable things. They will scout for expos, so you can set traps for them that will auto matically go off without you having to do anything, for example put a vulture or a zealot or 4 lings at an expo ramp.

I dont have time to read through the entire thread right now, but I read the OP post and here are some that I didnt find there.
Pylon Jump. trapping a probe between a warped pylon and a structure or mineral, making the probe jump over it, onto the other side. Useful on Requiem and Arkanoid, for instance.
Corsair self-splash against cloaked wraiths. The Pusan move. Short term, but unideal solution to lack of detection vs cloaked wraiths.

How does this one work...
Speed Drop: Clicking the wireframes as the ferrying units move rather than using the "unload all" command, resulting in both quicker unload and a spread that can reduce splash damage/psi-storm, etc.
What are the "wireframes" in the overload/shuttle/dropship?
|
Wireframes would be the pretty green/multicolor outlines of units.
You see those 11 BCs? Their ugly green outlines would be their wireframe. Thus, in a Dropship, you'd see 8 of those pretty green things (assuming you put in Marines) and you'd rapidly click the top left one to drop units as your Dropship moves.
EDIT: This isn't me playing, btw.

ha I was suprised at the picture as well. 11 BCs vs Zealot looks really imba.
Something random:
When trying to break a bunker and feeling extra fancy, bring along 1 overlord. Bunker cannot aim so some of the shot will be at the ovi, therefore making your lings last longer.

What about those tricks where some people build refineries on your gas? Is that like 'manner gas'? Whats the deal?
|
It's annoying, makes you waste units' time for destroying it (if not cancelled) and delays your tech.
