The 29 mother ships (on mission weapons 3/6 I think) is scary but not hard. All 29 are clumped together so that the missile launchers do massive group damage to all at once.

Stand & Deliver challenge. Here's a strategy that works surprisingly well. Try to clear the small legion using only the mouse - no keyboard. That means no moving and no powerups. Just spin and shoot. I managed to do it the very first try.
It is an innovative design but the game play is really off balance. Its neither fast enough for a good action game or deep enough for a good management game. OK concept but needs work.
This is really a fantastic game. The point distribution is well thought. The award system is also brilliant and keeps the game interesting for alot longer than it would be without it.
I'm at 77 awards and I'm happy to putter along with a few games a day on my coffee break until I hit 100 for the badge.
