I'm really "struggling" with this map.  I can't survive more than about 2.30 in.  Any tips?

As long as you remember to use pause, there's such an absurd amount of energy  (look at the crystal energies around the map before starting) that you can easily support a ridiculous number of weapons (you can pick up the red gem below your LS before the emitters start making creeper). I'm pretty sure if one had to play it meticulously they could shield off almost all of the emitters and nullify them before they broke through the shields - but since it's an acquisition mission, you don't really need to do anything other than just dig straight to the capsules and win before 2:30 anyway (it may be advantageous to reposition some of the repulsors at the beginning). Oh yeah, and there's a 2147M density block of anti-creeper you can easily dig to.

You can play it as an annihilation mission as is. Just save a capsule til last.  ;D

Done for grins.  ;)
Power. Power! I must have more POWER!

Finished now, thanks!  Nice original map :)
