    • I can't get past level 5, any suggestions?


      I can't seem to be able to get past level 5. I can't build as many ships as the Giotori and I'm not fast enough to do this. Help.

    • All right. I managed to finish mission 5. But is mission 6, in compasrison to levle 5, harder or easier than level 5?

    • Let's just say...

      It's easier if you are um...let's say...in control of things. It's very, difficult if you mess up in the beginning.

    • Good luck on level 15...

    • The secret to level 15, Joveia, is to let your HVD stay as far away from the station as possible. I checked in Hera. It had a Proximity condition. If your HVD gets near the station, the 3 carriers would appear. (And possibly assassinate your whole darn fleet.)

      I always call down the carriers for a challenge. Its just so easy otherwise to win by sending both the capships straight to the station, capturing it, and then seizing the planet with overwelming force.

    • My trick is not to use any fullerene pulses until you call in the bad guys. Then 2/3 of them will come, and 2 carriers ain't that hard.

    • Confidence and courage are the essentials of successful posting.

    • I was confident, and I suppose it could be described as "courageous," but it was still silly and doesn't fit, see. So there's more than just the essentials if one is to successfully post.

    • Heh, I just cheated after like, well, I think the first Sal mission. Maybe it more towards 13. I actually haven't beaten the game legit! Bwahahaha! Wow, that makes me weak. It's still a lot of fun though.
      You know, I never knew about that whole HVD thing on 15. I'd always take the destroyer right up to the station and start hammering away. Of course it was when I wasn't cheating (using Elejee or Obain) that I found it challenging. Even using the Elejeetians it is a bit of a challenge if you call in all the carriers. I had no problems up to the Sal Spacelab level. Of course I always hated those Gaitori gunships...

    • I shredded the singleplayer in a single day 😛 Always thought Levels 13, 15 and 17 were easy unless you played 13 on a slow, laggy comp ala my 25Mhz LC III. IME toughest level was Hornet's Nest-still can take me two tries to beat it.

    • Yeah, I stayed up a bit last night (started at like 11:00) and got to Shoplifter two by 1:00 AM, I guess I wasn't really focusing though, I watched some of a movie and took a shower. I'll keep at it today.

      I think that if you know what you're doing, like not to send your HVD to the outpost, then things are a bit easier. And Hornet's nest is definetly a hard level. I'm not all that great at Ares, but I haven't had the time to get that great. I start my job next week too, so I don't think that there's much of a chance I'll do too much improving this summer. Still is a fun game. I'd say gameplay outweighs graphics in this one.
