The Loki have constructed this massive spore complex capable of annihilating anything in their path. You only have a limited number of Beams- and, little time to rush in and destroy the structure. Oh, did I also mention NO snipers? Those can't function when near the spore complex, and there are powerful runners protecting it. Good luck!

I've not played this yet, but one thing I can suggest to you is that Spores won't target Command Nodes, a few other things (which I've unfortunately forgotten the exact list) or un-built (incomplete) structures. That might help you.

Drop your other two CNs in enemy territory to pick up tech.
Spoiler
Drop one just in front of the wall for all the stuff there, drop one for the forge.
I did not find the spores more than a very minor nuisance here.
Spoiler
You have gobs of PZs. Keep two beams on the northernmost pair of them you control.
The massive spore storm is the penalty for taking too long, if you don't have the tech in the north I don't think it's survivable. I don't know because I never let them fire.

The spores fire at 48 minutes. The average completion for this map is 27 minutes. I did it in 22, and I'm obsessive about having an aesthetically pleasing network. So I can't help but wonder if PMouser is being sarcastic...
If not, and you're newer to the Creeper Universe, always remember that the game lets you pause. That's you're single greatest weapon, because it allows you time and space to think, maneuver, build, and balance your energy use.

Spoiler
He gives you a 10,000 energy crystal. Anytime you get a huge- or any for that matter- energy crystal, use it to build reactors and improve your network, not on blasters and fighting creeper.
