Description:
Overview

This map is multitasking chaos. Players start off staggered in a circular pattern inside a large octagon. Weapons pass through external walls and wrap around the world returning to the battlefield until they hit something. Everyone starts with 4 cores ensuring multiple chances to stay in the game and plenty of economy. However, as you lose a core one by one in the course of battle, your economy begins to decline (fewer cores producing resources). That is, unless you compensate for that with more windmills and mines or you upgrade them. Zero gravity is turned on. Friendly fire is common on this map for obvious reasons, so don’t get agro if you receive some. Kindly inform your teammate to adjust their shots or apply shielding/metal to areas of friendly fire.

Possible Strategies

Target players nearest you first so that you can be sure to hit them without friendly fire. If possible, coordinate with nearby teammates to attack a nearby enemy together and force them to fight a two-front battle. This will force enemies into multitasking, splitting their resources to two fronts and eliminate them more quickly. Use the infinite walls to your advantage to fire in unique directions or at unique angles to catch your enemies by surprise. Look for opportunities to hit them where their defenses are weak. Do your best to chip away at the cores one-by-one. Zero gravity is turned on, and if you happen to catch a large piece of floating space debris, it may be possible to use it to bridge across the no-build zones and capture another base. This is rare though.

Multiplayer Hosts

For those who host this map, consider adding the "Inverted Mines" mod for extra economy at the bottom of bases and/or the "Allow 90 Degree Building" mod for additional firing angles against your enemies.
