Enjoyed the custom ships and the map. Why was the emitter from CW3 in the map... I didnt see any explanation for it? Maybe I missed it.

Well, the Emitter is inactive, as the info pickup should have said, and will become a more important part of the 'storyline' of my maps. I would call it a remnant of the cycle that wiped out the previous civilization, since I assume the Emitters don't simply disappear into thin air when a civilization is destroyed.

It's also a fun nod to the fact that the Creeper has once been here, and will come back in due time.

Ah. That makes sense. I was thinking that it was just a single map not a story. I should have thought of that.

I'm terrible with story lines as anyone that has played my maps likely knows lol. Best you'll get from me is a smiley face or a good luck in the description ;)
