This could work to secure the last remaining expansions. With 3 or 4 planetary fortress the base would be barely unbreachable.

xcept with corruptors or any air

I have been able to use the Terran liftoff ability to scout through fog of war. For example, if you liftoff a command center and move the ghost image of where you will land around the map you can see where the enemy has build buildings because the outline will turn red on the grid wherever there is an occupied spot. I have been able to see where my opponent has been expanding in 1v1 by just mousing the ghost landing image over expansions and I can tell if he has built there or not.

Is this a bug? I think in SC 1 you could land anywhere the terrain would allow it and if an enemy building occupied the spot you would not know till you revealed the fog of war.

That is spectacular. Probably will be fixed in short order, but still spectacular while it lasts.

usually send my SCV out with a ton of waypoints so he goes around the whole map. In addition when I send an SCV to the opponents base early I will created about two dozen waypoints back and forth within his base so my SCV runs around on his own if I forget to micro.

Don't know if this was posted before, but +1 damage for protoss not only allows zealots to kill zerglings in 2 hits, instead of 3, it also lets immortals kill roaches in 3 hits instead of 4.

no, I think L was talking about some other abuse thing from other games. Obviously we know we can waypoint scout in this game and it in no way compares to terran landing exploit.

Really cool trick, but at the same time, I don't see it ever being used to mine island expos or anything like that. Even if you're always super fast, it still mines 2 or 3 times slower with a limited amount of drones.

I would imagine it being used to mine out an opponent's expo before he builds there tough, and since it's pretty safe even if he kills the worm, there's really not much to lose.
