To help deal with dark swarm in BW, could you irradiate some science vessels and paint over the dark swarm? The risk of scourge is there but thats expected.
Also in SC2 i feel like it is a worthy endeavor to put a turret AND bunker to protect your mineral line. At higher levels maybe it doesnt apply, but for the majority of players the ability to devote less attention to defending harassment would help them win games as theyre focusing on macro and attacking. Plus if theyre able to stay out of range of both you can still pop the marines out and provoke. Given the fact that late in the game when bases mine out you can just put the marines back in your army and salvage the bunker. Whole thing costs 25 minerals per base.
I ask because at the highest levels you dont see these things but i feel like theyre cool tactics. Thanks

About the BW idea, I think risking the vessels to be killed by scourges (what will probably happen in a mid to high ranks) does not worth it.
The damage produced by the irradiate is not so fast to wipe out everything under the dark swarm: you would only kill a couple of lings before scourges come get you. Lurkers won't get damage and ultras have too many hit points.

Using irradiated vessels against zerg units is a common technique and is used occasionally against lings under swarms when there aren't scourge around. The reason why you don't see it done more often is because its usually lurkers under swarm and irradiated science vessels don't do anything against burrowed units.
