When the game tells you in that one promotion screen to take it slow, make the cybrids come to you and burn *their* energy on movement rather than yours, it sure isn't kidding. Two attempts at the first sector base: on attempt one I tried to rush the base and got lit up in a serious way. Attempt two I hung back and allowed their mobile assets to advance on me a few hexes at a time and I was able to take them out where I had the advantage; from there mopping the turrets up was easy.

Now I just need to get better at using the terrain. Why hasn't Cyberstorm been imitated in all this time?

I know! It's preposterous how long Cyberstorm languished unloved in the intervening years.
