Sorry, I cannot figure out how to get the very slow c-bomb over to the creeper without being killed by the faster drones...  Any hints?

Sure, choose you level:
NoOb

Spoiler

Go finish all story missions, this is too hard for you

Newbie

Drones can travel through enabled micro-rifts

Beginner

Spoiler

Disable and enable micro-rifts to let the drones stay on the right side. Start (paused) with disabling all MR's after you told the C-bomb to go to the left, leave the top left one and the one directly left of the bomb enabled.

Advanced

Spoiler

Then unpause (wait untill the drones have choosen their paths) and enable the most left MR again, after the C-bomb got through the MR's disable all MR's again and enable the following MR's: a MR on the left side and one of the (or both) of the MR's above and below the starting position of the CB.

Spoiler

Juggle the drones between the MR's on the right (disable the one the drone is moving to and enable the other MR while leaving the most left MR enabled)

Beginner II

Spoiler

Get all techs by destroying the reactors, moving the blasters down and building a row of shields were the blasters were. The easiest (and slowest) way of completion is moving the LS up and left at after the gate opened. You can get 11 technytes there and you can nullify the gateway quickly

Advanced II

Spoiler

Once in the top-left build some reactors (and a tech dome for some technytes) and nullify the gateway. You'll need 3 CB's for the first super-drone and 4 CB's for the second one (one minute after the 1hp drone swarm). Then the drone cycle repeats.

Expert

Spoiler

After the gate opens you can move the LS into the lower cave, it has much more room for reactors but you'll have to find a way to kill the creeper in time (while holding it back) and a lot more drones will come at you. This method isn't proven possible yet but you can survive at least 7:30
