An expedition to recover the lost technology from a secret research facility has gone terribly wrong... This is my first map, comments and feedbacks are greatly appreciated.

I enjoyed your map. Your Akashi custom, the triple lathe ship, is really nice. I've made my own high lathe ship but I liked that better. The map in general was really heavy on energy pickups. I suggest keeping them mostly around the intended start location. Energy tanks work well on heavier ships but the lighter once like the Lathe Lite and Skirmisher might be better off without a tank or with a generator.

I am glad you enjoyed it.

As for the heavy energy pickup, I originally intended to allow multiple starting locations (so that people can plan their own best way for ship/energy pickup)
However, the map was unusually brutally when I first play-test it, especially the surprise attack. So I went overboard with the energy pod to make things more manageable.

Excellent map, well balanced. Keep them coming.

Loved the map. It really kept me on my toes in the beginning.
