Yup, it's a great unit. Unfortanely, they're strictly pvt. I've gotten away with using them against toss a couple of times.

Hmm. There are only 5 other air units for Protoss and 2 of them don't have an attack. The only real competition is the Scout and the Arbiter.
Anyway, I think that the Arbiter is the best overall unit but the Carrier is the most powerful as far as attack goes.

well here are my other favs

Air=carrier
ground=Dark Templar
most used=zealot

i use the zealot most of the time because of their low cost and decent attack power but most of the time i can use the carrier with about three scouts and some dragoons for support. anyone else agree?


Dark Templar Rule! :lucifer

Corsairs are better for support. Sairs are better at killing wraiths. temps/goons for ground. There's also the "finger".

zeals are good they move very fast and if u get enough the battle owns but if they only mass zeal with no obs dt will own zeal.

lol i can c that...

anyway, CARRIERS SUCK A SQUIRRLE. I can dominate (coughnewbscough) who use carriers w/ zerg, and i SUCK at zerg. theyre just 2 waek. as zerg, Devourers. As toss, temps. As terran, emp + gols w/ charon boosts, or valks. carriers r just 2 bulky. They might as well have a sign on them that says, "HIT ME W/ SPLASH DAMAGE!!!"

LOL, Im sorry,but carrs alone are tough enough for gols due to the fact that gols are mentally retarded. The moment carrs have any type of support and ran still hasn't evened out, it's bye bye terran. Plus you have to put alot of effort to make them worth it whereas toss just has to momentarily repostion his carrs to sidetrack you. Sorry gollies suck.

As for EMP. LMAO.

Damouse, I'd love for you to do this to me in a game.

Hey Phoenix, why do you say carriers are strictly for PvT? What does the P and Z readily have that can counter carriers quickly and effectively?
