Now, if I'd written that script, I'd call it bad code for popping up under player units. Since Sorrontis wrote it, it's clearly intentional.

... if you're gonna play the game / gotta learn to play it right ...
... the secret to survival / is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep ...
... know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em ...
... know when to walk away / know when to run ...
Mix that with an equal measure of:
- There is no kill like overkill
- Paranoia? Nay, preparation.
- Second backup reserve failsafe.
- We need more power!
- ... nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

A robust Collector net. I used the grid form.
One Nullifier is never enough. "Be prepared".
I spent 60% of my time on an easy setup. Two columns in three were Reactors, and the remaining ones are row-ed in Beam-Cannon-Mortar-Blank. The blanks are for Nullifiers.
When you have a PZ, place a Nullifier if at all possible. Else, Collector or Reactor.
For every Emitter you can, build two or more Nullifiers. Arm only one. This gives you a manoeuvring reserve and an emergency backup.
"... Don't you ever let a chance go by ..."
The last wave I took entirely with the reserve-PZ-Nullifiers.
Sorrontis: I got to the last unit, but didn't know it wasn't a trigger for another, even larger wave. So I stitched my network back together and
then Nullified it.

Yep, totally intentional :) The last wave was easier than I expected. I'll make something harder in my next map.... "Return from Dark Depths"
