Nice!
Lots of ways to optimize your run... got mine down under 8 min, and i feel there's further room for slicing a few second off.

Its very much a time-and-resource optimization exercise.

My approach.
Terp and one cannon to nullifier island. Terp set to no resupply, it will never need any!
clear space for CN - immediate send terp to guppy island,
land CN, grab nullifier, fly south soon as possible

Meanwhile, other 3 cannons pacify guppy island.
When terp arrives, it is unobstructed. remove some pillars, then *destroy terp* (won't need it again, it just takes up floorspace)
build 2 collectors, nullify emitter. build reactor on PZ
using mondo power from reactor, send cannons to ne island, re-pacify.
Meanwhile, build guppy. Send guppy NE.
Soon as guppy arrives, send 3 cannons to SW island to pacify. 1 cannon + guppy + nullifier clears NE
Send guppy to sw, soon as pacified send 3 cannons up and nullify SW
repeat for NW island.
Note: try to never re-arm cannons via guppy. You want those packets for nullifiers! Mostly cannons fly to base for rearming.

txh for playing and good feedback!

Nice map with different ways to win. Not over-complicated and no "do that or loose".

In general a great map - the only thing I really didn't like about this map: When you loose the terp it's gone forever.
But I like this map way more than the big one.
But: However don't let yourself be discouraged making the maps YOU like! Don't care so much about our opinion... In general you seem to have a different taste than the majority and that is pretty okay! Diversification in maps is a good thing and there will be always people (including me!) moaning about this or that, just do your thing!

thank you!
it's not as much about taste, as perhaps more about different approaches. I'm not good enough to make balanced maps where logical problems are the key, not bombarding creeper with Berthas.

I think you underestimate this MArtin guy. ;)
