Custom Map #424: Abraxis, Former Rambo. (fixed 2). By: Vanguard

I just replayed the mission from Colonial space. All is fine.

The CRPLcore connects to your network and draws AC. At 250 it constructs first ore deposit.

Have you connected it to your network?

For me, everything works fine.  ???

How do you deal with the insane number of spores that come your way?  My beams are hopeless against them, they run dry.

A few map hints for your question.

Spoiler

- The key is to get a Beam as quickly as possible onto a power zone.
- You should always have multiple routes built with excess energy, since relays are available unlimited. Providing more targets for the spores is also a good side effect of creating a huge relay network. The AC rain should take care of any spores hitting your base.
- Focus your first assault on the western Powerzone. After that it is cakewalk.

Good luck  ;)

The problem with the beams is them running dry.  A beam can only kill 4 spores before needing more ammo.

[Vanguard]

That is true. Until you

Spoiler

Establish a beam on the powerzone, you need to create a big relay network. The relay network needs to work at all times to fuel your advance and they act as target dummies. The AC Rain should protect your base most of the time from bad damage, so you can mop it up after having been hit.

i didn't worry about beams to much, Just built collectors fast then once I could build a few mortars and cannons I moved them around to use them as spore attractors until I could move my base close enough to build up a nullifier and start to take out the spores, The AC from above ends up being enough to allow that
