:) Yep.
This is the Construction Pylon. [Also another great creation of GoodMorning]
Construction Pylon and a High Energy Source [Maybe some Energy Land Pods] and this is the recipe for Big Ships without the awful wait :)
ShipYard & Construction Pylon
In my Fix Your Fleet Series i have used the Shipyard for the first time and in the Mysterious Maze Series the Construction Pylon. If you use the Construction Pylon you don't need to use the Shipyard. I used it cause i thought it would be cool to have both. For actual building they do the same only the Pylon is instant.
Also the Shipyard can be used for enemy Ships and [as far as i know] the Pylon not.

No point - non-player ships spawn with a complete CM.
Hi, i could not do this, they keep killing my ships with those big shot. i cant survive . how to kill these land ships? ty
Small thing if you make any more of these: Could you put a longer respawn time on the big ships? The 1 second screen freeze whenever one of them tries to start rebuilding is quite jarring.

HAH, and i have built these big ships using the Shipyard set to enemy. Thinking i saved some time also.
So that won't be needed anymore. Thanks for Info GM.

Hi PMouser, there are a couple of things to do and NOT to do.
Spoiler
Things NOT to do - Move Omnis - Start Emergent. [Big Shots fireing]
Things TO do - Emitter Control Tech. [point the Blue Emitter to the Land but don't Mire the land to quick or the Big shots shoot at Particles.
Place your Omnis in a way to progress to Energy Sources and there are 2 Flip Emitters you can Flip so the Big Shots fire at the Emitters. And build some Big Ships from the start so that when these Emitters are Flipped you can move up a bit.
Also an Amped T-Brad or T-Fist pointing North can help with the Land Ship. [is only 1 landship]
With an Ampeg Ship and a lot of Omnis you can Destroy the Land Ship and progress.
Good Luck !

If that happens a lot [meaning you can't destroy the ShipSpawner fast then the Spawning can become an issue. Understood and i will think of that.
Whoops found a exploit
Spoiler
You can HQ Telefrag the big ship's core to 1 Shot them.
It made the map a cakewalk after finding it 6 minutes in.

This is a thing used before.
If a [big] enemy ship is not spawned on the shipspawner but somewhere else than you can do this. [we call it HQ Bomb]
It helps getting a better time but spoils the fun of Destroying the ships.
The Halo term does have a certain attraction, however.
I am not aware of the Halo term.
