List of errors, problems:
1) Does the initial dialogue show on first load? If not, oops.
(Edit: you can still see it by hitting the archived transmissions button.)
2) Wish I could add shield graphics to the stage three cores. (as they have fields active).

Walkthrough:

Spoiler

Rules of thumb:
1) Do not approach any emitter but your next target.
2) Power is limited, so reactors go in power zones.
Setup:
(target 10 minute mark)
3) Build a diamond shaped base while also going after the terp tech to the north.
4) Circle clockwise for story a and counter clockwise for story b.
First emitter:
(target 20 minute mark)
5) You do not have enough power to take the first emitter, so you will have to be creative.
6) Approach cautiously, keeping your front line a fixed distance from the emitter.
7) Build a pad for your nullifier and, if you can, dig a trench in front of it.
8) The nullifier will not be detected until it is built. Have your shield, bombers, and extra front line ready to fly in just before completion.
Survival:
(duration five minutes)
9) Retreat everything to your diamond base.
10) Relax. Your walls and mortars should suffice.
Second emitter:
(Target 35 minute mark)
11) Same as the first, but easier
12) You may want to build extra anti air defences everywhere at this point. For no reason in particular.
Third emitter:
(Target 45 minute mark)
13) Same as the first, but harder.
14) Consider using that artifact of Odin you collected, but keep freeze in reserve.
Fourth emitter:
(Target 55 minute mark)
15) You don't have enough energy to control both land and air, so focus on air.
16) Use freeze and the black hole weapon to give yourself that needed opening.
