There should be some support units, Ghosts, High Templars, Science Vessel - maybe a shield battery etc. Usually if I am making a carrier fleet - I will have one or two shield batteries to run back to for recharging purposes. (Of course I usually lose too - so what do I know.) I made a test map once where you have a number of rounds in which you are greatly outnumbered for firepower, but you had a series of caster units that you could use to defend and attack with. (A sort of 1 player micro practice map.) I practiced things like lockdown - but some of the most amazing results came from doing weird stuff, like putting a defensive matrix on a pair of firebats - stim packing them and then having them take hits while marines pwned lings. -- LTP :)
