Okay, here is some tips:
1: Later on you only need 2 "Level 3" fuel storage.
2: Place some weapons at the bottom of your ship (only a few)
3: Place cargo holds on the same row in a spread out manner (best ones on the edge)
4: The damage booster stacks
5: Guns reload faster than missiles.
For infectors, you usually have to do one of two things.
1: Mass ships and push forward with turrets
2: Mega mass ships using the physics lab
The infection resist (has with all resistances) does help. But you got to use the right stragety
monkey boss and final boss require some luck. The monkey's meteor attack can be reduce to below 200 if you equip all defense. He is prone to spamming it when low on health and it can crit. Another thing is that tentacle and horn genes grant new attacks that can go over 100 points of damage easily.
@billisgod42o, the trick is to aim for magic towers first if they are collapsed they can't cast their ultimate. Also, the ultimate cooldown is the same for all ultimate (except were upgrades are involved)
Could someone explain how do I get a negative unit loss? That seems to be the only way to get 4 "Ridiculous"s on a stage. Also, I have defeated Villalobos ...so... is there anything else? Or just insane difficulty?
