nice br. it was interesting to read a newbie's perspective. hope you .. improve

scouts aren't all that bad

if you want to use air like that use it versus a terran, mass scouts from 10 stargates when all he is doing is mass tanks late game. or use them to humilate opponent that is already dying. only those 2 uses really

pics would make it better. instead of making 5-6 semi-decent reports, learn some basic HTML and put a real amount of effort into a great report, and you'll have gold. the talent is there..

erm, you guys sound like huge newbs, but oh well =]. One of the many things I can suggest is to research the 8 interceptor upgrade BEFORE your first carrier comes out =P.

anyway, good attempt, probably a 5-6 in my book.

As mainly a vanilla StarCraft player, I must say that scouts have to be an option to be considered and I thank Blizz so very much for making them at least a little viable in 1.08. If Terran is going BC's on a land map you can really fuck him up with scouts, carriers will loose the 1v1 battle.

Anyways on an island map I guess the superior speed of Carriers might come handy, but scouts are needed against a massive Air Terran, too. Most of the people go Temps as Toss on Islands, with massive drops, but if the Terran wraith rushes he can have good Air control and with a little scouting can stop any drops.

But thats vanilla. In BW there's always the corsair to secure your drops.

cont. because 1000 char limit is a bitch:

Anyways, about the report:
It was written kinda well, but some things disturbed me. You mentioned that seeing as how it was P v P you thought of Goons and DT's at first, but after reading .Praetors report you decided scouts.
That sentence sounded like you were reading the report while you were in the game. I guess Goons + DT's is you general thought of PvP, but you made it sound like you were thinking about that in the game. Perhaps you remembered .Praetors report just then. I dunno. You should have pointed that out. It's also always better to have at least a little HTML compliment your text, to present it better. You prolly don't know how to HTML, but simply use Word 98 or Frontpage Express to make it, then upload the file via Report center and do a fileread in the submit reports box. Many more ppl will read it then and you'll get much more feedback.

I'll go with a 5,5 here.

I don't see why scouts are considered crap. Since 1.08 came out 2 scouts cost the same and have the same food supply as 1 carriers w/ interceptors. 1 scout does more damage than 1 carrier. The 2 scouts you get have 50 more hit points as 1 carrier(I think). Scouts are faster. The only thing carriers have that scouts dont are the interceptors, and if your playing against a good player that doesn't matter. That's just my opinion though.

erm, the last couple players sound pretty newbish =[.

Going BCs on land maps? ***MAYBE*** in the very late game, and scouts were always a good counter against that - though not if the BCs are properly supported.

Scouts are better than carriers as a main unit? Erm . . . right.

Carriers have longer range and more armor though.

If they went Goons, you shoulda gone Lots...Goons do only 10 damage to zealots, but zealots do 16 damage to goons. Plus, the speed upgrade is really effective. I'd say...that was a newbie game. Massive Scouts, Cannons, and money. =(
