Desc:
as commander of Space Ship 1 you have to do what captains always do - win the map. Easy task, with just a few twists. Warning: You have 3 guppies at the very beginning - I suggest you spare the last one (but do build it!) You will understand what I mean, should you come to a dead end. As always: I would appreciate comments/feedback.

I'm sorry but this is just annoying. I'm sure there is a neat trick but it is not obvious.

Martin Gronsdal · December 13, 2020, 01:09:59 PM

yes, there is a trick ;)

wasted about half an hour on map, came to see if there was a clue on the forum and all i see is a smug comment from map creator... so went from annoying to even lower.

what do you want me to write?

give away the solution?

the CN needs to go north. That's the strategical goal

as with any non linear challenge, we explore things looking for a result that will move us forward.

Spoiler

we can see the red nuke behind CN, so the map didnt even ask us to guess we should orbit the nexus.

all we had to do was...explore what we had.

indeed.

But still kudos to newer players for trying. I would have not known what to do when I started to play CW3 either.

nice puzzle at the beginning, havent seen that used very often as the break in. cool map!

D0m0nik · December 14, 2020, 02:54:55 AM

Yeah sorry, I see it now. I am just rubbish at puzzles and find them frustrating. It is a smart trick.

Martin Gronsdal · December 14, 2020, 04:43:41 AM

Smash things

Whistler · December 17, 2020, 02:45:47 PM

lol i get so paranoid moving your CN that i never do it anymore

Johnny Haywire · December 17, 2020, 09:29:13 PM

Pretty cool map! I must be getting the hang of your maps - I think I spent only about 10-15 minutes real-time on this one and I'm thankful to get a smaller map every now and then from you ;)

I saw the "trick", but it took me a few seconds to figure out how to

Spoiler

get power to it.

Ah, figured that out. Next question: How do I

Spoiler

move the CN to do what I figured out?

[close]

Ah... you don't have to actually do that - cool!

I know how frustrating it is to not be able to see the solution, so if after all the hints on the forum if ya still can't figure it out just ask a specific question and I'm sure someone will give a helpful answer.

Thanks for the map! Great work! ;D ;D

It's a Martin Gronsdal map.
so the VERY first thing you do is space your CN, to see what the ground and any hidden features under it is.
Then restart and actually play.

This is true for all of his maps!
