Neutrons, X-Rays and Flares.. OH MY!!!! A routine astronomical misson goes awry. DO NOT allow the star to form a black hole.

IMHO it's worth watching the "star" for about 8 minutes (on turbo) just for the colors.  Then restart it and knock yourself out.   :D

Really neat map.  ;D

To get the conversion bomb tech I had to build some 'armored beacons' by surrounding the beacon with shields. One of them ended up in the wrong spot and creeper appeared inside the shields ...  :-[

This map has it all; brilliantly-designed fields, custom background (I get so tired of blue sky / brown ground), and lots of creeper to break through.  The highlight is the different patterns that the star produces.

It shouldn't be too hard to get a good score for this map, but I'd recommend doing this map after waiting 20 minutes or so.  It'll help next time you do it for time, too.
