In any case, way cool! You haven't thought about making a recording with Snapz Pro or something like that?

Sheild upgrades give 1.5 units of sheilding per upgrade, which is piss-poor, and the recharge unit increases your recharge speed by around 0.06% per second, which is again utter crap. I used the javelin launcher for the rest of the game but when it comes to the alien you have to use the tractor beam at all times, therefore eliminating the use of a javelin launcher. The sheild upgrades were the best way to spend the 5 tonnes that didn't require use of a secondary weapon.
(edit)making a recording of it would be pretty dull. Essentially all I did was to get to the back of the ship, use the tractor beam, get to top speed whilst still tractoring it in order to outrun the fighters (tricky but possible), and then hammering away at it with laser cannons before reaching the edge of the system, where you have to turn around and do it all over again (the best way is to turn before you hit the edge of the system, because if you do that then you can turn whilst holding onto the alien with your tractor beam. If you hit the edge of the system the alien flies off your beam and then it has a chance to zap you with its laser. I had to do fly across the system around 10 times before it blew up).(/edit)
