10/10 from me. One of the most enjoyable maps I've played in a long time. Took several retries until I got a strong foothold, and then it was a long grueling battle where I had to earn every inch of territory (and then retake it later over and over again). Thank you for making this map!

I opened at the bottom right.

Also, in one attempt I opened with the top-left which was very nice, but the lack of good ships made it kind of hard to know where to go from there. I was trapped in that corner with a 100 energy source but nowhere to go. Might try it again. I suspect the ones who got a better time than me did it that way.

It seems the center is a trap, you need to start elsewhere.
