This map is really hard. Anyone have some thoughts (on beating it)? Best I can do is 3:50.

Difficult start, indeed. However, you don't need any special strategy for this one, except for good energy management.

Spoiler
The initial energy packs are sufficient for 30 reactors, start building those before any other unit. Those can already supply your whole defense (I had 8 beams, 8 mortars and 4 blasters). Once you establish the base, choose one leg, nullifiy an emitter and seize an Aether pack. Then it's only a matter of time to finish.

Thanks for the tip.  That start is extremely delicately balanced.

Yep, good tip. Thanks. I'm dismayed that a bona-fide map is getting such terrible evaluation points. Totally unfair.
