What worked for me:
Upgrades- Early Game, upgrade power efficiency followed by turret buffs and Heavy Barricade. By midgame, start working on general ship and weapon upgrades, along with repair. The rest of the upgrades as you desire - you'll get enough cash to max everything well before final level.
Gameplay- Pause as soon as you start a level. Build 1-2 Refineries, set barricades on perimeter and hide anti-fighter turrets behind them. Add medium ship defense, repairs, and 1-4 fighers next. Play defensively until you feel safe, then build your fleet. In the beginning, fighter swarms are all you need. Later on, Fleet/Super Carriers and Siege ships are absolutely DEVASTATING when you can stack Physics Labs.
Villagers are invisible, have a blue and white dialog box on the right side of the screen for a copy write notice that I can't get rid of. I've tried on both Chrome and Firefox. Anyone else having the same problem, and know of a solution?
I really wanted to love this game - it has so many good things going for it! Great customization of the character build out, good balance of difficulty, decent graphics and sound. There are just too many problems. The Black Screen of Death, adding RNG survivor hunts to progress, and the constant mind numbing outpost invasion missions. And it feels like a level pack for Decision 2, not an actual new game. Please fix some of these issues in a patch, this game's potential is really high
Good potential - needs to either be shorter, or have the difficulty ramp up much higher. All I do is put the bouncing bomb gun with speed increases, hold my trigger down and don't even have to move the mouse. That isn't fun :(
