Tikk, this is a really cool-looking map but you've put AOO's with an inhibitor and that almost always means a sub 2-minute map. If that's what you were going for (?) then cool! (Is that why you had the two extra pick-ups there?)
...just waiting for the "other guys" to come tromp my score in the ground :o
Thanks for the map! ;D
I didn't go the AoO route but there's no need to fight the spiral, as soon as I reached 9 o'clock I turned east and marched straight to the inhibitor. The guppies at the bottom actually slowed me down because you have to collect all tech to win.
Fastest way (at least that I know of):
Spoiler
Land one CN to pick up the mass & freeze. Land the other two to pick up the two techs, then immediately fly them to the center and do whatever you think you should do at that point.
Ran this map three more times to improve my score by a whole second! Not sure that spending 10 minutes to save one second really makes sense though... :-\
