Collect the capsules but beware as the Spinning Death surrounds you! It's not just deadly, but darn annoying too as it will destroy all your packets. You'll need the Micro-Rift Tech but it's just out of reach...

Hopefully this one isn't too hard but if you're having trouble, I made a quick walkthrough.

2 quick notes:

This is an "Acquisition" Map. You don't need to nullify anything.
The fireballs are fed from the 2 Creeper pits continually and it's not necessary to kill them.

Did pretty much the same as in the walkthrough. The only difference is that I had to save and load a few times and I directly built my blasters near the gateway instead of the LS. Good map!

Thanks J, teknotiss, and Helper for the positive feedback. I don't mind getting lots of down votes as long as SOME people like the map enough to comment on it. I don't 'try' to make them difficult... They just turn out that way. :)

Yet another challenging, but fun map.  Thanks!

This one definitely forces some unnatural play (capping emitters with blasters and AC instead of nullifiers).  I did have to reload once, when I realized how quickly the drones ramped up around the 20 minute mark.  Once I had the strat figured out though, a second play-through went much quicker and I was able to collect the capsules before I 'ran out of time'.

I loved this map, gave me lots of thinking as i initially tried to destroy the creeper in the storage boxes, almost worked but then drones got too heavy.  Would like to try the same map without the drones increasing too much and with less health on the emitters, reakon I could do it by conquest.

Great, challenging map man.

ye, i could not handle all those drones had to give up
