Strange that so popular map and no comments at all. :-\
For me it was very fun and enjoyable game! Thank You for great work! :)
Only one things: for me too many new ships with unknown function and ability. In future will be nice see in the forum comments or at least photo of custom ships. Though only photo will be not enough... And one more: because Tick ship only one I had to use as a bomb others small ships.
I had a good time on this map, and it is nice to play with different ships every once in a while. I was wondering is there a way to save the ships to my local database that you only acquire during the mission? I can save the ones you start with but not the other ones, like the triple mark III or the missile ship at the end. I haven't seen a way to do this in the forum yet.
Thanks
General thoughts:
Definitely a good map with good ship designs. As a nitpick, I didn't really find a good use for the star beam.
