In the map simply titled 'X', you start out with some advanced swarmers, a few Ion Array Frigates, and a P3 Frigate...er-cube. You should start out with a P3 Frigate, but there is no tag in the .level file, so you ed up with a cube that has an ion beam and is potentially dangerous.

The resources are simply configured as an 'X' (intersting, eh?) with each player on the tip of the prongs in the X. The X is so tightly packed, that it leads to a game similar to tthat of a 9999 injection a minute game, with each player not really having to guard his resources while he slowly creeps down to the center of the X that is the map. Then building a fleet of Super Capital ships and hyperspacing them to the enemy mothership for the insuing battle.

This map is also a good example of why swarmers simply suck, they aren't especially powerful and they really annoy me with their "I'm out of fuel" every 10 seconds.

One intersting thing is the Megaship in the middle (I believe vertex is the term?) of the resource X, and it is semi-interesting to try to go and kill it as an exploit just to say you did.

This is a good map for people who want to brag they played a game with no injections, but there are just too many bad points to save it from the void of deletion upon unzipping.
