The SSDI entered Sector 16r, only to find an organized Particulate System.
There's an easy way and a hard way to do this map. Do both for fun!
So, who did it by trying to fight the emitter? How long did it take you? The omni trick?
This is one of the hardest maps I've ever played. I know i was doing it wrong but, i just didn't get how you can get anything built before the waves of particles take out all of your stuff.
Building first at the back helps. So do Omnis. And that particle burst should be triggered early, because it also gives plasma, which slows particle movement, making it take longer to reach you, meaning more time before you need to kill it, and so longer before it respawns. That is to say that, indirectly, that slowing the particles reduces the number you must destroy.
