Certainly, but please open a thread in the correct board so as not to clutter this one, which is relevant only to one map.

Constant energy starvation? Check.
Huge amount of stunners, unable to stop them all? Check.
Fast-firing, armored, aggressive dopplers invading your base? Check.
Hostile emergent killing your omnis? Check.
Enemy titan, slowly circling your base in a spiral of doom, killing off your ships easily? Check.


Great map, can't beat it. 1/10

I had the same problem on my first attempt.

Spoiler

The entire west side looks threatening, but if taken early (i.e. before the enemy ships spawn) is actually a breadbasket. A few ships and a willingness to ram the Struc can let only a few ships take the entire side (possibly with just the HQ, possibly needing some Omnis, I haven't played this map recently). With that side of the map helping you, rather than adding more pressure, the map becomes much friendlier.

So the trick is really to play (far) more aggressively.
