Desc:
A couple of kids thought they had enough time before the creeper hit to get away for some alone time in an escape pod. The pod doesn't have enough fuel to come home, the creeper has started, save the kids!

Yeah, you did  :)  This map is considerably easier than my first, hence the medium rating.  So far you're the only person to post a score on my expert only map.  I figured if I kept that up I'd scare everyone off from playing my maps.  I'll probably alternate between medium and E.O. maps.

Wow, clearly my strategy sucked. :(

Edit. Better, but still no banana.

Nice to see that even a pwned map can become a competitive playground. :)

No, the best playgrounds are the ones you see on AFV where people inflict bodily harm unto themselves.  :D

Can't see how you guys got your <2 minute scores. I'm clearly missing a trick. Get the pod first? Move OC back down, but you need at least one blaster to survive.

No blaster...just go for it. Although I don't know how Upperkees did it 21 secs less than me. I'm doing it as efficiently as I see possible.

Great, thanks! Up with the big boys now! I moved OC one connection north to get my score.

I give priority to the most important supply line(s) and build as little collectors as possible. Under certain circumstances building with a slight deficit can also pay off (because the packets will catch up later, when enough energy is available again).

I've got to stop this... I just can't get right down to the wire.
