the eye is feeling much better now.

most of the time, the only thing i get from weapons pickups at the beginning is a force wall, and at the beginning of the wiggle, i often get an auto-pilot, which is totally useless. about 2 out of 3 of my best times are made without defense, just dodging through the pack. the other time i will have either a shield or a deflector and just cruise through. this track doesn't seem to be very generous with the better power-ups, not till after you already needed them.
