I've tried laying spider mines outside my base but nobody ever runs over them. They just shoot them.
Putting them in altenative bases though sounds like a good idea. I could get a bunch of those guys going pretty quick.
But how do those mines work? I place them down and then I stop being able to place them. Do they have to recharge or do you have a limited number per vehicle?
I tried firing a yamaoto gun once on a protoss structure and it didn't seem to do diddly squat. Maybe it damaged it, but I don't know how you're supposed to detect damage on protoss strucutres. At least terran ones catch fire. I was expecting the gun to blow the building up in one shot and take a long time to recharge.
Figuring out what my enemy is doing right now is the least of my worries since I can't even build an airforce fast enough to counter their zerg airstrike. I just found out while playing a freind that some of the flying zerg have a range which is longer than my missile turrets so they won't get hurt at all by them as they blow them up. I forget what he told me to do to defend against that. I think he said I needed to build wraiths.
As for building battlecruisers, my battlecruisers always get their asses kicked by whatever forces come at them and they take so long to build and so much money... I seem to do much better with goliaths and wraiths and things.
Basically I just want to get to the point where I can hold off attacks for a while. Then I can start worrying about being able to go on the offensive. If I can't even hold off attacks, then trying to both hold off attacks and go on the offensive at once isn't going to end well.
