Ticon Corporation is now in an energy scarce system where they may have to put their own HQ ship in extremely risky scenarios. *USE DEFAULT FLEET* [LEVEL: MEDIUM]

This crack-up certainly made my day.
Nice map- I am guessing that I am seeing chaotic behavior when the particle rings are perturbed by a ship (from outside the ring.) Someone with a physics background (maybe like VirgilW) should do a video on this. You can see this at min 32:00 to 34:00 on a YouTube video by ShadeofDead Particle Fleet:Emergence #70.
Re chaotic behavior of ring: I have a screenshot showing how a group of ships using particle guns pushed a group of 3 rings away from the emiter. The emiter was taken out by a series of lathes. Each time it reset it took the lathe out so I needed 3 or 4 lathes one after the other. The triple lathe took too long to rebuild and so I couldn't use it.
