Somewhere on the border between Redacted Space and a large nebula, an unidentified Rift signal produces a HQ once controlled by one of the many corporations thought lost to the Particulates; caught between two planetoids, the mysterious vessel prepares to engage the Particles that have now detected its presence...
Enjoyed the custom ships and the map. Why was the emitter from CW3 in the map... I didnt see any explanation for it? Maybe I missed it.

Well, the Emitter is inactive, as the info pickup should have said, and will become a more important part of the 'storyline' of my maps. I would call it a remnant of the cycle that wiped out the previous civilization, since I assume the Emitters don't simply disappear into thin air when a civilization is destroyed.
It's also a fun nod to the fact that the Creeper has once been here, and will come back in due time.
Ah. That makes sense. I was thinking that it was just a single map not a story. I should have thought of that.
I'm terrible with story lines as anyone that has played my maps likely knows lol. Best you'll get from me is a smiley face or a good luck in the description ;)
