Experience Played since Starcraft Original. Seasoned player. Seen all sorts of tactics played and counters. I've played with people at the top level and also entered different competitions, winning prizes as well.

Question Usually when i play i play using Toss and i like to wall myself in with 4 or 5 cannons i usually play with a few of my friends and they aren't that much better than i am and usually my system of building was
-9/9 probes
-get a probe to build a forge and pylon
-rush to the front to build a pylon and 3 cannons as money comes in
-i make 5 more probes and make an assimilator
-get a few probes onto it and make my gateway and two cybernetics cores
(on the way I'm making more probes getting more money)
-i make my second nexus and make many probes to get my money and gas
then i begin to mass air and on the way upgrading so by the time i get to my carriers it has mass attack plasma shields and armor
I'm just really hoping for a better strategy still massing air as fast as possible i dislike using grounds units because i find upgrading them wasteful so any help would be nice
Answer HI THere,
Your strategy is not bad for a walling in, tech to carriers build.. You may want to try this alternative though...
Go for 2 robotic facilities and get 2 shuttles and 4 revears and make a quick drop from the back of your enemy to take out their workers and CommandCentre. This usually comes out so much faster than carriers. There after you may still go for carriers, or if you expect your enemy to be going for carriers... go for scouts and arbitars instead can do the trick as well.
Focus fire all your scouts on each Battlecruiser/carrier each time. 1 hit from 12 scouts will 100% take it out. Use shift click to auto target the next one..and so on. Use arbitar's statis field to lock down HALF his carriers/battlecruisers... and just take out the remaining half. When they're dead wait out for the rest of the half to appear. Statis another half of them and take out the remaining half. You have an easy battle this way.
Way to take out stationary defences is still revear/carriers though..
