Nice. Especially liked the last part with going through emitters.
Not sure, if I did it intended way, because:

I destroyed forge right at start, but felt like this was not intended solution.
Not sure what was the bertha for, not used its shot. Few sprayers was enough for all places to cleanup them.

Great job!

I think the bertha was meant for the far right landing pad by the terp

Spoiler

control main island
destory forge rebuild forge power it up increase range
use bertha to clear pad then use terp to make level area
use guppy ferry system of sprayers to claim forge island using the terp
make a ton of sprayers send them down to snake get enough going there to use terp
land your command center make sure you built a relay by second command
claim second command return first command to main island
use 2nd command to far right upper pad
use sprayers claim L shaped island
i used guppy reactor chain to get relay node
send 2nd command to main island
then you have enough to claim the second relay node
long battle on the snake to finish

Where did you build guppies?

Could someone explain how to get the extra relay in the top right? As far as I know you need to be connected to an orbital to get it, guppies don't work. You can fly your base by but 3 relays doesn't reach far enough. I spent a few hours messing around but couldn't figure it out, now I feel dumb and seek answers.

I tried to follow your guide Whistler but it was too confusing and scary. Please explain as if I was a toddler

You have to have a relay connected to the pickup, then connect that relay to a grid of landed guppies and fly the CN just so that it connects with one of the landed guppies.

Thank you, this is what I was missing. I knew you could extend range a little bit by connecting to a sprayer then a relay but didn't know about the guppy thing.

YES!

This is a cool map. There's a good bit of moving the CN around, but there's a good bit of variety built into this map. You don't have to abandon a base completely and you don't even need that extra CN. Lots of ore, a few sorta-tricky things but nothing too serious. Highly enjoyable for players of average skill level and above!

Thanks for the map!! =)
