Looks like the local telecom has cranked up the prices on their relays and long distance features

What does it really accomplish to make us wait forever to build the relays?  Defending the islands is trivial--they're covered by PZ beams.  Thus the only actual issue is defending the landing long enough to build a relay.  Cost 100 would have done this just as well as 1000.

On my maps when there is something expensive, there is another solution :-)  I only make the item expensive instead of banning it outright for anyone that may want to solve the map with them if they are not doing a speed run.

Sorry if it's a daft question, but why the name?

Apple Mac world - the series.

Obviously a reference to your username.

Am I missing something obvious?!

Or is it just your preferred platform?

Nice looking maps, by the way.

Now if only I had time to play them...
Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

You don't need to build relays to beat this map.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what you guys are using to be able to power up a nullifer without a command node or guppy. Or I'm missing something else entirely.

The names ties in with my username, since I lack creativity for good names, just ask my cats.
