Too hard a start, I cant get the crystal to get my self going. pluss only having 4 phatom coils is not helping.

It requires split-second timing to get the crystal. I actually think this is one of the finer maps submitted recently.

you PC must be EPIC then because i have tried about 20 times now and cannot get it even with brining the liberation ship all the way down to help with packet travel time

Did you pause at the beginning of the map? Also, if you have a better PC it will actually be harder to time these things - if your PC goes really slowly it's a lot easier to time things precisely.

Nothing to do with an "epic" PC, just with how one plays. 



You're not done yet after that, you still have to move fast and make sure you nullify that top emitter before the drones break through. Given that you weep about something that just requires timing, I think you'll probably not manage to complete the map anyway. Good luck however.

I didn't find the timing that critical.
I probably didin't do it the optimal way but I think that shields are an under used item - they are so cheap that they buy you time to set up repulsors and take the edge of drone rushes.
