I've been playing this strategy vs zerg and vs terran, map dependent.

I vary the opening by probe scouting after the gateway. This has saved me a few times against early aggression.

The best zerg response I've seen is mass queens into hydra, but I've defeated that once.
Waiting for 200 energy and catching their army out of position then recalling into their main and forcefielding is just brutal.

GG right there as their main evaporates and you start building pylons.

I like to throw in void rays vs. terran and pheonix vs. zerg. So I usually end up with only 3 gates and stargate production. 2 cloaked void rays should take care of any vikings nicely I would think.

great build and kudos! I've been looking for a way to use fast mothership since I started playing, and here it is.
I love the smell of acid splash in the morning

You guy should add 1 VRs instead of 2 more stalkers, VRs and mothership will execute sometimes when your army is just too slim against his ground, or just use VRs to focus fire on overseer.

This is a lot of fun! I just won my first try at the top of diamond. Opponent went early hatch into some lings and then tons and tons of roaches. The mothership popped and I went over planting pylons along the way using zealots and stalkers to take out the natural. Then reinforced with two VRs to deny overseer and spores!

I think well hidden tech for mothership can give u extra win here and there, but as u said its mostly fun build or something nice to suprise some nasty opponent with his pants down !!! Besides who doesn't like to win with pimpy units, even if it means risking whole match for it !! MommaShip is the shit !

Thank you for the guide, I even signed on up so I could comment on it.

I'm having great success in my gold league ladderings, its insane fun to break up a bit of standard play and go fishing with the mommyship, It always brings tidings of GG or general disbelief from some stunned mullet. (Zerg)

Could this work against the 111? Once you kill the marines, the enemy cant do anything.

Q. Have little or no skill?
A. Distract and dazzle people with cute builds.

PS. When the Toss or Terran is on one base for way too long, he's either really bad either he's allining. Plus he's economy can't be better than a completely saturated (24+6 workers) base. So no reason to drone and not make units and defense.

Go flame another place. This build it's fun and works, and sheds some light to an underused unit such as the mothership, I don't find anything wrong on that.

Little up here, because I think that with the 1.4 patch and Mothership buff, this build is now more viable (even if its only a little bit), so maybe it's gonna interest some more people !
I'm gonna check this out with YABOT and GTAI since I can't play atm (school proxy arg).

I think that from a standard opening (like 3 gate FE), if you scout close position it's viable ton change your build into this all-in, I hope we'll see this build more on ladder

No, because if you don´t make any major mistakes you will not lose to this.
If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid* (*Or: You are stupid for losing to it, and gotta git gud)
