Awesome map! Another one in a long list of very high standard maps.
To start with I thought it was even more difficult than the previous Hopp Hopp Hopp map.
And it was.....
But not too difficult to prevent a finish. Took a few attempts to find the right starting point and then we're away.

I spent a lot of time trying to find the right color scheme. I'm glad it even meets your high standards.

Couldn't see how to make the top with the crystals work, but the start in the SE worked like it did before.  A bit harder to get enough beams up fast enough, but once I could hold on it was actually easier because all the extra stuff provided places for PZ mortars that sure thin it out.

It took me 10-15 tries to get it right with the very top center. My solution involved rapidly hovering the command node back and forth to keep it out of the creeper while I had one cannon next to the siphon to protect and and then one cannon on the other side to protect a nullifier placed to take out both the spore tower and the emitter. After that I dropped a reactor on the pz where the emitter had been and continued to wiggle the CN north and south in place. While you're building the reactor the siphon is likely to run the crystal out of energy so you'll have to land long enough for the CN to generate power to finish the generator, but after that you can keep wiggling it back and forth long enough to build a couple of ore mines and a sprayer and you should be able to safely land at that point.
