Can you beat this map using only sweepers?
Rating looks low for a map that is not very difficult, but does take time to take over the enemy.
I started by going along the sides and taking out emitters and some doppel makers and ship makers with my hq alone with some hq deaths.
But taking out that stuff meant an amount of particles that does not increase as they are all around the energy mines in the enemy area that I took over 1 by 1 sacrificing several ships in the process to quickly reduce the number of particles.
The ships can very well defend themselves against enemy ships while I use some of the additional ships for the attack.
