man, i tried like a dozen way, replay the map in my head, I honestly am at a lost how you beat it and so quickly, when as far as I can tell nonthing works, lol. I feel like I am missing something though, but man, it so good, I just hate I can't solve it yet.

I'm a bit at a loss on how to defeat this map :(

I have thought of destroying the Forge and putting a nullifier, but I don't see any way to advance further. Is this the correct starting point ?

how is it possible to finish this in 21 seconds? is it possible to build the reactor that fast?

Check your forge tech:
The Good - Build speed is maxed. You can build stuff fast, and you have a lot of energy to use in your CN
The Bad - Range is also maxed which means your mortars will be firing at Texas Pete riding off in the sunset.
The Ugly - How do you get the mortars to fire so that they protect your quickly-built nullifier? You're going to have to sacrifice build speed & power in order to get decreased range.
The REAL Ugly - Oh, you think you can just make that choice once? Nope. Fire once, then switch. Switch back then fire again. Repeat this until you've either won or rage quit.

I built a nullifier that could be somewhat protected with the mortars, and moved my CN and the 4 mortars, and upgraded flight speed in order to help facilitate that. This took me countless tries - probably 14-15 or so, which I call "countless" b/c I almost never restart more than 3 times. Alter Old obviously did it better (not surprised) but landing anywhere close to his score is definitely a good thing.

Lemme know if ya need a screen shot.

Thanks for the map!
