< Commander: This isn’t about holding ground; it’s about tactical precision. Delay them, deny them, destroy them – that’s the triad that will secure our victory. Your forces are the thin line against the tide, the wire that must not break.
Delay their advance with barriers that turn seconds into minutes. Deny them the satisfaction of an easy win by controlling the flow, forcing them into kill zones. And when they’re in your sights, unleash hell – destroy them with the full might of our arsenal.
This is the essence of strategy, where time bought is as valuable as ammunition spent. Your orders are clear: no quarter, no hesitation. Outthink, outmaneuver, outlast. Give them nothing but take from them everything. This is ‘Down to the Wire,’ and it’s where we draw the line. >

< Commander: Recently, a beacon has unexpectedly activated — a series of SOS transmissions are piercing the stellar expanse. Signs suggest that we aren’t the sole recipients, the Aliens have also tuned in, and are potentially mobilizing. Your objectives are twofold — terminate the troubling transmissions and preempt the approach of any Aliens drawn by the inadvertent invitation. Prepare to rebuild the system and fortify the premises. Vigilance is key. >

< Commander: Brace for a wild ride! High Command is sending you into a hotbed of alien chaos. The pace will be relentless and the stakes are sky-high. There’s no time to admire the scenery; survival is the name of the game. A large alien troop ship is attempting to overwhelm the small outpost with sheer numbers. It’s going to be a prickly ordeal, with danger lurking at every turn and the enemy as unforgiving as a cactus hug. >

< Commander: The Dilbert isn’t just a battle cruiser; it’s a space-faring enigma. Forged by a renegade tech tycoon, it marries elegance with menace. This ship stands as a pinnacle of contradictions — it’s contours are cutting-edge yet menacing, it’s technology surprisingly innovative yet peculiarly eccentric. With it’s vast, angular frame etched against the cosmos and bathed in a sinister glow from the experimental PDPS ( Pulse Detonation Propulsion System ), the Dilbert cuts through space like a phantom. The precious cargo of enriched crystalline Cores, that produces the reality-bending energy, makes it a prime target for alien forces eager to dominate the stars. >
< Commander: The Dilbert’s weapon systems were compromised in the last skirmish, and is inbound for repairs. A quickly established and workable defense grid is your assignment. Save the Cores! >

< Commander: In the vast cold of the cosmos, in a distant solar orbit, drifts Windigo Wild, a space platform named for the oppressive sense of doom and chilling howls that seep through its bulkheads. Reminiscent of the mythical creature, the station is steeped in unexplained phenomena. Spacefarers share hushed tales of a phantom entity, the Windigo, that stalks the platform’s corridors. An omen of an unseen threat that lingers in the silent void. >

< Commander: In the void of space, to "Pay the Piper" is an idiom, still unlearned. This was once a promising station, and is now a neon-lit maze of circuits and steel. Unpaid construction debts have resulted in engineers and contractors walking off the job, taking the defense blueprints with them. The temporary service utility road is the only way to access the cores. Alien forces, attracted by the sitting duck nature of the station, are staging an onslaught. >

< Commander: Your mission – Use what resources you can, save the cores and take no prisoners. >

< Commander: The Terrace is facing an imminent alien attack, and tension is running high. A crucial space station orbiting at the edge of the heliosphere, it’s the lynchpin in our stellar defence network. Aliens are en route, and they’re hungry for the Cores. They will hit hard and fast, so your defenses need to be tougher. Hold the line, protect the Terrace, and repel the alien incursion. The system’s defence contributions are crucial. Stay sharp, stay focused, and above all, stay alive. Command out." >

< Commander: Your task will be quick, brutal, and unforgiving; a tactical squeeze-play demanding precision over brute force. On this pressure cooker of an outpost, the margin for error is as thin as the atmosphere on Europa. Every turret placement, every shot fired must be deliberate. This isn’t just a battle, it will be a fire fight in a phone booth. A short fuse, where one misstep could be your last. Over and out. >

< Commander: Envision a battlefield that refuses to remain static. Grounds that morph and pathways that realign, all orchestrated by the pulse of kinetic intelligence. As adversaries chart their moves, the terrain shifts, rendering their strategies void in an instant. Your mission is to harness the unpredictable, making certain they’re ensnared in this dynamic web. Yet, tread with caution; the same grounds that aid you can easily become your greatest challenge. Adapt and overcome. >

< Commander: Our intelligence sources have confirmed that an outpost on an orbiting asteroid is the next target. The station, Samsara Way, is revered not just for its strategic value and unique defensive platforms but also for its deep spiritual resonance. The ebb and flow of the tower platforms and the labyrinthine pathways are a testament to the perpetual cycle of creation and destruction. This coordinated assault demands your immediate attention and swift action. By leveraging the concept of Samsara, and utilizing the oscillating defensive platforms, you can mount a strong defense. You must be prepared for the back and forth struggle, and remain committed to the defense of Samsara Way station. >

__________________________

– this is the result of much mucking around over the last few maps to
stretch the game play to include another feature or aspect …… keeping it
all fresh and fun …..

– it was a lot of fun to make and pleasure to play …. it did take a
while to iron out some of the bugs and get everything to work smoothly …
but was well worth it …. i have found a way to remove and/or minimize
any lags or pauses in the game play when the transforms occur

— there are five platforms that will boomerang back and forth along the
tracks on the map
— the amount of tiles is enough to do the job and if more are needed they
will arrive
— the mode < the Whole Shebang > has all the extra tower tiles up right at
the very beginning
— the different modes have varying spawn/exit configurations

– a big thanks to Walsingham, P4P1PRO and the several others who have played
this map through before it got uploaded ….. their thoughts and feedback was
very much appreciated

– all cores can be saved and gold medal achieved @ the Elite setting
