A cold asteroid cluster that will crash into the sun if you do not remove the creeper from the surface...
Excellent game - as always.
A lone Totem off in the middle of nowhere would have been sweet.
...I rode through the desert on an asteroid with no name...(nah, that doesn't work).
Try this instead: "I road through the vacuum in a ship with no name".

I can't get past the first island other than the one with all the ore. The creeper is just way too dense.
Spoiler
I started lower left and worked counter-clockwise.
From the base island (lower left), I focused on nothing but Reactors and Beams for about 8 minutes.
Then I built some Strafers, a Bertha, and about a dozen PC's - then did a Combined Arms Assault.
I thought about using Guppies to run down and defend Ore Island, then start harvesting...but that seemed too complicated for me.
I would have been nice to have Sprayers and Bombers in the assault.
Here is a related question: If I want to build ore mines on that island and set up a sprayer, can I do that without guppying my ore back and forth to the command node?

You'll have to send Power Guppies down there to (1) power your defense, and (2) build Ore Guppies to haul back to the CN.
I must have tried this map seven or eight times. The last time I used CN#3 instead of 1, and beat it fairly easily (top right emitter was a doozy, though). That's now my lucky node.

But then you can't get the AC back to the island without putting it in a sprayer or a bomber, right?
Just use an AC Guppy. They're in the newest update.
map made much easier with the new patch
We should be able to disable AC guppies in our maps, at the very least, but they really should be off by default.

We can disable them and they are off by default.
The default cargo for Guppies is "Packets".

I mean, when making a map.
"Allow AC guppies"
More like disable them it maps made before 1.67. If you want to disable guppies you can do it just like with another unit. And you can't disable PC fire on digitalis mode.
Just going through MadMag's maps... some pretty cool stuff here!
Thanks for the maps! (If you're still around that is)
;D
