Tried to make a straight up ship shooter that was as hard to complete as possible.

Lol - hard to complete?  I'm trying to figure out how to get started! 2 minutes in and dead. I'll keep working on it.

A beginning

1. Get the middle mine.
2. As your HQ moves to one other mine, place every ship you have.
3. Also place every Omni you have.
4. Send the Omnis to the two nearest islands.
5. Secure your newfound gains and bring the fleet forward.

A middle

6. Rush the one mine supplying the main irritants. Lathes behind the main wave. MK7s should hang back with their amp gems, and you should hope a few Dischargers survive.
7. Rebuild and drain the power from the now-disconnected ships.

An end

8. Put the entire length of the 4-MK7 ship through the core of the opposing 4-MK7 ship to destroy it. Your ship will survive, done properly. If you're worried, use another ship to take a few of the first hits. Be careful that another ship doesn't overlap it, though.
9. Clean up.

To start, place two of the MK7's back to back and flank them with a Missle on top/bottom to create as soon as the game starts.  They should be online before enemy cannons arrive.  Power up with amp gems...first amp gem should be to allow your mines to harvest the amp gems around them.  Good luck!

Lets be honest, most of these levels are pretty easy to beat.  I wanted one that, even as the guy who knows the tricks, it sometimes is tough for me if I don't get the timing right.  I enjoy challenges and wanted to create a level that was as difficult as possible. 

Hope others enjoy it the same way.

Not sure why this map is rated so low, I quite enjoyed it.
