Tipps:
- start with the Rail Gun, it is easier to aim with the small and fast ships in the beginning
- upon upgrading, choose the Photon Bombs, while you have to get used to the aiming they are far better than your other option

- start upgrading Starting Alloy and Invasion Force Size; the first lets you start of with more ships, the second shortens the duration of each level drastically
- upgrade ship weapons depending on what ships you use
- you won't need the hull/shield/damage upgrades for your mothership, 2 addon-slots will be enough for some time

- only build the strongest ships as you only have 6 slots
- in order to finish the game you are going to need at least the fifth ship (sixth is better)

- the addons, sorted by descending usefullness: Manufacturing Boost, Shield Absorber (2), Negative G-Field, Weapon Fire Rate Boost, Weapon Recharge Boost, Destructive Shield Discharge, Laser Module (2), Pulse Cannon (2), Improved Recycling

- if nothing else works, just retreat a couple of times to gather ressources for upgrades
