pastor, did you forget to protect something in the first 45 seconds of the map?

I think the scores already posted give it away. :)

Ha!  Missed it...  That just means I need to do a map that is a little harder.  :)

Hmm. how do you shave off the last 0.2 seconds?

What do you mean last .2 seconds? I think you may be asking about the next .2 seconds?

Try a relay.

Now, I've got that, what about the next 0.3 seconds. :P

Well, I might know a trick or two,
Spoiler

The nullifier beam travels instantaneously, but the packet feed has a finite speed. Positioning can minimize that length. The minimum deltax between an object and a CN is 6 given that deltay is small. The length of the transmission beam is deltax/cos(theta) where theta is arctan(deltay/deltax). cos(theta) has a maximum at theta=0 so deltax/cos(theta) has a minimum at theta=0. So logically, an orthogonal angle is best.

One more tip: the packets travel faster en route to a relay. So if there must be a distance for the packets to travel, make the relay rest immediately adjacent to the nullifer.

Ok kids... the next one is a 'little' harder.  :)
