I agree with Elrusosucio, that medium badge is easier than Streamline impossible badge, and almost everyone says that medium badge is hard? I have got in Casual Collective almost every level in Crazy difficulty, and haven't use the walkthrough never.

Jesus christ I was just reading all the comments about people saying how hard the best of 2009 badge is thought I'd ignore it... Played onto the first survival mission fairly easily... Then got through about 20 seconds. This is definitely not a medium badge

Important thing for all standard mining missions: the waves don't come based on time, they come based on % mined, so take your time with mining (even 1-2 mining pods will do and concentrate on defensive structures.

@ Mecha, When you use thels but them just behind your other things to keep them safe from motherships but they can still attack(unless they are to far behind).

It's not that hard nor does it take that long really, especially if you read some strategy beforehand. The game just has a steeper learning curve than some. The big fights give you sandbox money. The only hard thing about those is knowing enough about what you need to build. Just don't spend it stupidly and you've got instant win on any difficulty. The mining missions send based on what you've mined, so it's not an instant win, but it also doesn't bombard you.

This game is too hard in the later levels and the medium badge takes longer than any hard badge I've ever done. But good game 3/5

@ mecha372: Was it mother ships, or super ships? Were they in range of the lasers? Did your thels drain all of your energy? Thing is, thels suck in pretty much any situation, and missiles are far better for taking out mother ships with their range and damage. Just allow extra cash for the ammo.

In support of what Cyborg said about Thels vs. Missiles, I made a serious effort to use them against the super ships. But a dozen upgraded Thels, backed by 13 solar stations and 4 energy storages, all upgraded and filled with energy, still ran out of energy before the super ship got to 1/2 health. That's 16 upgraded missiles with an extra 3k for missiles. That's a huge money sink, for little damage, and no splash damage or sustainability.

The super ship is a very hard opponent but there is a little weak point. When the ship nearing to you build some energy relay and it will attack this and can't get any closer until it destroy every object nearest to you so you can shoot it relaxed and put energy relays on it's way.

This game's turrets NEED priority targets. Rocket launchers should not target exploders, unless there is nothing else to target. You have no idea how many times I've been killed by swarms of motherships because of this.

Solar stations are just like power plants on a grid. It doesn't prioritized. They can store up so much energy in the grid, and then it's going to go wherever it's being used. If you run out of energy anywhere, then you need to create more of it.

I really really wish that my solar stations would send energy to keep my pulsars firing rather than sending most of it to the repair station :(

So I've been messing around and replaying the game to get all reds again after losing my save. And I've found that it's really quite possible to just build a stationary base and beat the final mission. No tricks, no fancy designs, no hectic rebuilding, no long drawn-out plans. Just a well balanced base that you can sit back and watch as it owns.
You need a dozen or so fully upgraded missiles (to destroy the super ships), around 6-10 fully upgraded pulsers (to destroy enemy fighters as well as super ship missiles), 6-10 upgraded solar stations and a couple upgraded energy stores so your pulsers don't stop firing. Keep a solar station or pulser at the front as they have he most health. I had 10 repairers, and that was more than enough to prevent the super ship beam from killing any solar stations or pulsers.
Toward the end you can sell off a little if you need to, for missile funds.

To defeat Final Boss - Mothership - in NORMAL MODE :
Make only Missile Turret upgrade to final upgrade, at least 10 for the last level.
In front of the Missile Turret Line, build a "NET" of connector to occupe the Mother Ship ( it is not expensive). When the MS destroys one of them, rebuild it, indefinitely.
Be patient, and if you lack of cash, sell one of your Missile turret.
You will encount 3 MS in the final stage ... with HUGE LAG !

I'm sure if everyone that asked for more from this game donated about 5 bucks each; everything u ask for would get done...even free stuff cost someone something

I feel like they should make a tsg 1.5 kinda like Bubble tanks tower defense where they add diffrent kinds of weapon, enemies and maybe even harder or multiplayer.

this is a truely great game. however you have not unlocked it's full potental. right now i say this game is a 4.87/5(or something like that) PLEASE make a building that allows you to build your own ships, and fight aganist other real peaple(muitiplayer) with their own ships, and make maps that are bigger. one more concept i think you should add is a building that slowly gives you minerals at the cost of energy.
much looking forward to the next version!! :)

the game is good and so is the story. it has a good replay value and has well spased dificultys.
10/10 i give it the seal of aproval

Nice game but I wish the lasers and missile launchers would prioritize. I lost the response 3 level because of that. Other than that it's a good game. 9/10

[16] Setup has failed: Loader bypassed
WTF IS THIS?!
I got the same message in The Space Game, except it was [10], not [16]...
Is the game broken? or does it now work on the Macintosh?

I just tried Cyborg127's strategy, and it worked. just having to upgraded miners kept the waves managble, and with 3 missle launchers I rarely even got hit.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Further discovery: In mining missions, the waves are sent based on how much you have mined. So spending minerals on getting them faster is actually a BAD idea. Statistically you are more likely to succeed having a single miner as it means all your money is going on defenses. Would take a very long time, though. Have patience, and play the mining missions on fast - there is no award for completing missions quickly.

THELs are rather useless. Too much energy drain, and are out performed by missile turrets. Fully upgraded THEL = 2400, fully upgraded missile turret = 1900, which gives you 100 missiles out of it before it starts to cost more than a THEL. Add in splash damage from the missile turret and it's a clear winner between these two turrets. And you can turn them off if your pulse lasers are equal to the task, saving minerals.
