This was an enjoyable game. Slogging prevented by benign particles, and a reasonable number of Omnis for expensive Struc destruction.
Harder particles (rather than more) and a little PRPL could make this map style a very interesting one. PRPL can help; making Struc generators that are not stacked units, and could allow PaC-style supporting Emitters.
I played relatively slowly, and so the large ship finished building the CM between the destruction of the last particle and that of the last Emitter. It didn't finish building the actual ship before map completion.
The end part needs work - there's more Struc to pound through than is enjoyable at that stage, making it one-dimensional.
Particle bursts help and are well-placed.
