Neutrons, X-Rays and Flares.. OH MY!!!! A routine astronomical misson goes awry. DO NOT allow the star to form a black hole.

IMHO it's worth watching the "star" for about 8 minutes (on turbo) just for the colors.  Then restart it and knock yourself out.   :D

Really neat map.  ;D

To get the conversion bomb tech I had to build some 'armored beacons' by surrounding the beacon with shields. One of them ended up in the wrong spot and creeper appeared inside the shields ...  :-[

This map has it all; brilliantly-designed fields, custom background (I get so tired of blue sky / brown ground), and lots of creeper to break through.  The highlight is the different patterns that the star produces.

It shouldn't be too hard to get a good score for this map, but I'd recommend doing this map after waiting 20 minutes or so.  It'll help next time you do it for time, too.

Another fun map added to your collection.
