Tactics/Strategy help. Answering your questions.

queue lines of t1aa then show them your moves

My com is away frm main base and they are nuking the com. My nearby facs gets nuked right after i see a strat and they are using ground fire so gg.

Question: I see a soul ripper being built by an opponent who has about the same asf as mine. Often I can kill it, but lose air control as a result and lose all expansions to strats.

Assuming I forgot to scout and only discovered it when it starts shooting my base, what's the best course of action to take?

[Exotic_Retard]

well; you die. probably.

refer to my advice for strats and replace t1 aa with t3 sams

if you dont have a few of those, ctrl k acu so the enemy doesnt get the satisfaction of killing you

[Masyaka]

When you're playing air you need to eventually scout enemy bases/armies to not let land player die to some monkeylords, strats, mercys or soul rippers. By the time he is building soul ripper you can get shielding for com without scouting, or if really that hard eco you had you can just asist one shield with all you have so soul ripper's DPS woudlnt be able to drop it down, putting it in an akward situation. You shouldnt worry about soul ripper killing your air, you can easily reclaim it and make air out of it or another exp. I can be wrong but i will do it once i get to this situation.

In case you spotted it at your base you can go in water or assist shield with nearby engineer. If no shilds and air CTLR+K

was i wrong?

Enemy cybran commander has made 3-4 facs making only mantis non-stop, he doesnt ugprades mexes or whatever, making an undefeatable spam. What should i do if i meet a player of this kind? If i try to overspam ill loose if had atleast 1 pgen or mex ugpraded, going T2 is long, dangerous and even chickens cant defeat the flood. What can i do? Make PD?

Team game, 1v1, ffa? The answers differ for that matter.

1v1 is get a better build order, reclaim better, dont up your mexes until you have a solid map control, 4 factories are not much for a small maps. People go with 6 on average for landspam on those.

Teamgame is build a PD or two, spam a little yourself and rely on your teammates to support you or wait with a mex upgrade and spam more since 4 factories are not much either considering he have to fight not only you with those units but also other players, though its more common.
