How to start on this map? Need some help!

I'm pretty sure that once you clear the start the target is to the north, but I can't do it.  I think I'm too slow and facing too many spores at that point.

How are you taking that island to the south?  It was either that one or the one to the NE and I can't see how to sprayer-bomb either of them enough and trying to fly the CN over to them to build the nullifier means the spores quickly eat me.

I managed to expand to the island to the north. Using the guppy bug to nullify the spore tower in the southwest first was kind non-negotiable, then I used that island to get aether to my forge for upgrades. Getting some power upgrades and a range upgrade under your belt helps a lot to give you breathing room against the spores, and you don't actually need all the ore mining spots to be ore mines. Taking over the  north island involved ~4-5 bombers and 3 strafers set to hit little bit of exposed area to star with. Next, build two guppies to hold in reserve. Then I would build four sprayers and move them over to the little peninsula and destroy them to release AC. Eventually it got to the point where there would be a pool of AC that you could build your nullifier in by landing a guppy in the tiny open spot tucked right up against the emitter. While you're building the nullifier, keep building sprayers to send over & destroy to spread AC!! Keep an eye on your guppy too, it's likely the first one won't get all the way through building process so as soon as the guppy is about to die send it home and replace it with the extra one you have in reserve. From there you can build a relay on the PZ and the rest should be doable.

Nope not working for me. I can occupy the centre island okay but even with some aether upgrades from the lower left island I cannot manage to move elsewhere and eventually the 25x spores overwhelm me.
This is another exceptionally tough start. And maybe if I started again I could improve on what I did but still very unforgiving.

just sent all weapons and 20 sprayer to the island south of the center let them explode. then 2 snipers and 2 sprayers and feed them with the flying CN. nullifie everything. the bugs has ac inside.
