how to do this one? i keep getting overwelmed

My best results so far are to drop the colony ship down to the bottom where the artillery pool is and try to dig my way down into the next section using the blasters, but even with a ton of shields above my head, I can't get the blasters to work fast enough to actually break through. Would be nice if we could get a hint. Also, I wish I knew why a third of the shields at the beginning are deactivated. I can't think of any reason to do that.

Figured it out. You need to dig your way through the bottom *before* the creeper breaks the blocks at the bottom. That way your packets have a way through that they can use to dig out enough room for your ship (you will need to send it through a layer of creeper, but it's not thick enough to be threatening)

Everything after that is pretty basic stuff.
