DRM causes some loss of ships, Ana looks to fix it, but Varro is... not that kind of CEO. Also, very flowing particles.
While the dialogue is hilarious, after dealing for years with graphics driver issues I really really wouldn't want to use the open source MK7 drivers.

Funny you should say that, writing this (and playing) on a laptop with nvidia+intel card (optimus)
Had some troubles trying to get the low powered intel card to work correctly - left unresolved.
On balance - it's mostly the closed things that are an issue (in the case of graphics drivers - the clash of closed drivers on an open system).
That said - I've had untold woe with drivers on windows, but on linux things normally just work (In recent years, windows has gotten much better on this front too though)
In redacted space - I wouldn't care if the thing is open or closed - I'd make millions of copies of self generating ships, covered in mk7s, beams, launchers and cannons.
Self-replication, with lathes and generators of course.
Perhaps miniature and red ;)
Just wanted to say the banter in the dialogue of this map was hilarious. Sometimes, people put too much meaning jibber-jabber in the conversation, but you sir have turned this into a blessing! I laughed out loud and told myself, I HAD to comment on the map. Thanks!

Thanks! - This is somewhat motivating me to do a little mini-series of maps along these lines :)
Thank You for creating small, nice and enjoyable game! :)
