I wonder why no one ever does that? For example, if 9 carriers are attacking 6 factories, it is actually possible to fend off the attack just by lifting/landing the factories. In this situation, you will lose about 3 facs but will kill all the interceptors from 9 carriers. | ||

Way cooler in my mind is the old swarm crushing trick, where landing buildings in dark swarm would make the swarm go away. | ||

Edit: there is no mention of this in patch.txt, so I believe it was not patched. Maybe it is just banned in the league rules or something? Theorycrafting it may be, but I thought about that while watching some game (can't remember which one exactly, but it was high enough level) where terran just let the carriers kill all his factories because it was too difficult to move the goliaths back. He could kill at least 50 interceptors by lifting and landing his facs just once. What is the reason not to do that? | ||

This could work, but carriers usually aren't stacked that tightly so I'd guess at best you would kill 3 carriers worth of interceptors. Also it assumes they don't just kill your barracks because they are in such hurry to get back to defend, although programers probably have the multitask to just kill it on the way. | ||

and it was banned cuss a building that costs 125 minerals can crush massive amounts of interceptors which costs 25 mins a piece... this isn't war3, it's called TERRAN not NIGHT ELF. In SC, your buildings are not supposed to be able to attack! "outside of canons / turrets etc..." | ||
