| Spires are great to hide, stick them behind your extractor and park an ol or two over it. Unless he's terran and comsats (god i hate that free recon) he may not notice it. |

Nice report, and good win!
For the record though, it's a Spire, not a Spiral. |

I’m confused. If I scout in so I can see your gas and your OLs hiding the spire, then my scout dies what happens? The fog of war engulfs the area again, thus even though the spire was hidden at the time, as the fog of war spreads over the area again, the spire would be visible because it is a structure. How are you actually hiding it with OLs? I understand hiding it deep in your base or at another base, but I don’t really understand how covering with OLs actually hides it once the fog of war sets in again.

| Here is something even deeper.. What if you hid your starports with mass engineering bays? Since the bays are buildings would the fog of war show flying buildings still in the same posistion later on? Or would the buildings underneath be revealed? Hmmmm... |

| It doenst hide the spire after he fog of war dissipates, but often players dont check the base after the scout dies, they go back to managing their main. Its obviously not a long term solution, but it helps keep the spire from being notice in a passing glance. |

| floating buildings don't show in the fog |

|
| So if you had 100 Command Centers all hovering over a supply depot to hide it, then when you looked back at the fog of war you would see only one lonely depot? Strange.. |

yup, try it =D

| I don't get it... I have never used floating buildings in my life. (well maybe, but not alot) Is it a good thing to do? It kinda leaves your building open and unable to do anything. |
