Desc:
The AI's core control center is within our grasp. But sometimes the last few steps... This map took some loving inspiration from AI War, and is my first- I hope i've got both the difficulty and enjoyment about right. Note: Spire ships are strong, but use a lot of energy. Advice: I wouldn't take too long if I were you... the AI isn't going to play nice forever. You've got a while before it really gets annoyed, but once it does... Information: CST- Constructor (3 Lathes, 3 Dischargers). FF- Frigate. DR-Di

I beat your time :P.  I'm not sure it's possible to beat 9.1 seconds, but I would be interested to know how if someone pulls it off.  I haven't had time to play it through more seriously yet though.  I did run the first 5 mins of it and it seems a bit smoother so far.

How is it possible to get a 9 sec time? What am I missing here?

Well, the totem wins the map.  The trick is to get energy into it as fast as you can.  Turn it on, disable *all* power consumption on your starting ships.  Put an amp gem into mine power increase.  Unpause.

Didn't realize the totem was disabled, Thought it was just a red herring.
