if there are no turrets/goliaths wouldn't it be better to get a shuttle and zealbomb your way out?

Damn that pesky Vessel harass! Now I know what will hold it off. Thanks!

oh i see where this is going

The role of the scout here is minesweeper, so a zealbomb would be much less cost effective

I don't see why we don't just make more scouts. I mean think of it, this is genius.

If 1 scout can take out x mines, then if you can get about 10 scouts before they know what hit them you can take out x^10 mines, which is a lot of mines if the Terran is smart. I would definitely suggest more scout usage.

In addition to what Amber[LighT] so correctly pointed out - I would go even further and say, why do we even make any other units in the first place? Scouts clearly have no counters and they can destroy Mines, Turret-building SCVs and Science Vessels, which, let's face it, are the bulk of any Terran push.

Mr steelcaller, if there are goliaths there are probably few vultures. And if that is the case, there is no need for a minesweeper.

Probably because your strategy is game-breaking and the Terrans know their era of dominance is at an end.

lolwut? No golis.... 2 scvs hard counters any scout aggression long enough to get turrets up... in which case you've just spent a ton of cash on a scout in exchange for clearing a single-digit number of mines. Zealot bombing much better.

yeah mining out the back opens up an alternate path thus you arent contained anymore can move out flank the units and kill them.
but no, definitely scouts *nods*
