you can use the PZ's as you like, but Berthas seem to be the obvious choice. No hidden units, no tricks, all units available (no Thor, though). Multiple ways to approach this, but do build Beams.

There is an Emitter in the void right in the middle, and I can't figure out how to nullify it.  The only little asteroid that's within range doesn't have enough space for 2 things on it, so there's no way to build.  What am I missing?

Spoiler
A flying command node will supply units in its vicinity if it still has a stash.

I suppose Martin does not feel that this is a trick, but it's easy to forget that not everybody knows this technique yet, so for you it likely is a trick.

yes, I actually forgot about that emitter. You can fly your largest guppy - the CN - and nullify it like that, or do the guppy trick...

many thanks for playing!

fly a CN from south west to north east back and forth, until the nullifier has done its job.

plus, you can use AC to make that small piece of land habitable a longer time

many thanks for playing!
