1 type of custom ship and 2 types of custom enemy ships #GoodLuck
I just can't get started on this map. I turn the red mine next to the left side island, then turn the red mine that's on the island, but I can't seem to build other ships to defend against those small powerful red ships. They eventually come over and kill my HQ and then I can't recover. Any hints for getting a good start?
I seem to recall the most protected location was inside the land. A common feature in yum maps is the ability to lathe several Emitters early with the HQ, gaining mines, amp gems or time.
Specifically, the lower Emitter seems to have bootstrap energy packs and a gem factory in range.
You will need at least part of a fleet to resist, but defensive Struc on the mine dropped in the top left corner can kill ship after ship.
