What does it really accomplish to make us wait forever to build the relays?  Defending the islands is trivial--they're covered by PZ beams.  Thus the only actual issue is defending the landing long enough to build a relay.  Cost 100 would have done this just as well as 1000.

On my maps when there is something expensive, there is another solution :-)  I only make the item expensive instead of banning it outright for anyone that may want to solve the map with them if they are not doing a speed run.

Sorry if it's a daft question, but why the name?

Apple Mac world - the series.

Obviously a reference to your username.

Am I missing something obvious?!

Or is it just your preferred platform?

Nice looking maps, by the way.

Now if only I had time to play them...

You don't need to build relays to beat this map.

Fuji. Gala. Honey Crisp.  8)

For the life of me, I can't figure out what you guys are using to be able to power up a nullifer without a command node or guppy. Or I'm missing something else entirely.

The names ties in with my username, since I lack creativity for good names, just ask my cats.
