If you end up restarting this, get a sprayer early with at least half full of ac and fly it to the side of the map with the breeder. Fly it back and forth over the breeder in the void so it doesn't land in the creep and destroy it just before the breed happens to start breeding ac in space. Once you get settled in, you can use planes to blow up the creep on the breeder on land to allow for the ac to start it too.
