if you could control ships even a little, it makes the game extremely different. You could send all your carriers to sit behind your base spamming fighters, or send a cloaked hades right at the enemy station.
or maybe have phalanx fire more shots/sec, maybe 2x, but lower the rof on glads and make it take multiple shots to stop larger rounds, like a arty-halo round takes 3 hits, and a saph round takes 1
to beat level 9, immediately drive the ship to the top right and nullify the portal, then all the makers on the central asteroid. then go back to start and build reactors.
