i may have to give up...i have a carrier, with the BEST shield, armor, sensors, etc. armed with 3 battle lasers, 2 battle cannons, and 2 missile lauchers (1 large and 1 small), and i can't beat the level 9 officer! any suggestions?
to clarify, if energy drops to zero while mining, the ship freezes up and i'm stuck with zero energy and mining lasers that won't do anything. (turning them off and back on doesn't help)
2 annoying problems:
-when trying to order my people to attack a specific enemy, i could not, because it was too close to one of mine, so i wound up selecting mine over and over...
-the animalist keeps dragging the battle out-it won't recognize that the battle is over until he turns back to normal.
your energy should recharge if you are stopped and not using any. if you are out of fuel, the ship burns off energy when moving.
