Want to build an almost unstoppable flying ball of death? Play Protoss and only build Stargate units. ;)

To build a mass air fleet you need a lot of resources and a lot of time. A skilled opponent will try to deny your resources or simply attack you earlier.
I always played Protoss in SC1 and just built a huge amount of Carriers.
Always worked when you played someone who didn't know what they were doing but a solid micro setup with scourge or wraiths would always destroy this setup :)
I never said I won. But yeah, usually I got destroyed by the second or third rush.
Or Goliaths with +Missile damage and long-range missiles!
Or 6+ Valkyries to immediately clear Carriers' Interceptors. Then it's just shooting fish in a barrel ;).
Same goes for the battlecruiser spammer - you could always tell when that was going down and it was even easier to counter :)
mass fleet of void rays would do.
