Yw Tallinn. I did a few escort screens too, per request. I used weapon 2/6 for example. Just do a little adapting with lasers and missles for others where they come from all around.

I've got my score over 700k and I think I'm done. I could get a couple more "crazy" levels done, but I think the real fun factor is over.

Hint on finishing the last "boss" fight missions on any difficulty level:
Use a upgraded power station placed on the frontline to absorb the death ray, with some a few L3 pulsars right behind to destroy the purple missiles. Have MANY (10-15?) healing stations within range of that Station, but make sure the station is still the "closest" to the monster.
Use max-level missile bases to deal the actual damage, and level-2 power stations to ensure it all doesn't rune out of juice.
No other weapon types, just missiles and pulsars.
You can adapt this strategy and scale it up for the 3 boss final fight.

I don't really know how to make a youtube video for it, but someone did ask me for screenshots, so here's a few I posted for the first supership. For the last mission do the same thing, but building downward instead of to the left.

...it does...
6-8 missiles on those last 3 generators (one relay off) and as many lasers as you can get onto them too.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
yes, worked for every escort mission on every difficulty...11 generators in direct line with ship, upgrade only last 4 generators, branches off of them for missle clusters for motherships, and build and sell lasers as needed along the path...also put up 4 repairers between the 8th and 9th generators

and off of the last 3 generators, I build relay branches, and stick a few clusters of missles a few relays away from the path for the motherships

and then just sorta throw a bunch of lasers around where it's gonna be when the waves land...once it's beyond those lasers, sell them back...only thing I upgrade are the last 4 generators
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
kinda hard for me to explain the set up, but basically, I start the escort missions by building a solar generator down from the first one, then build 11 of them out to the right of the first one, all at max spacing

@ sirbattle you beat the superships on crazy, but couldn't do a branch mission? maybe it's just the way I did it, but I found the branch missions to all be fairly easy.

@ sir butcher. I thought about that but you need to do it in phases, otherwise it builds stuff randomly and I find the enemy fleet arrives and I'm building miners.

Need Help with mission "weapon 2" on crazy... I have beat it on hard and the other 20 on crazy and just cant get this one. I have tried everything I can think of.

"dont like the games which take time to learn how to play i prefer runining, jumping and ataking"
... And this is the mindset that makes me worry about the future of games, not that quality hasn't already taken a dive..

As with most of tower defence games out there, its quite fun for a while... and then it gets boring and repetitve. A good game overall though 4/5

@ddueber: almost all un-upgraded things can be sold back for full cost, so just build a bucket load of lasers, and like 10 repair bays, and 10 missles, right at the end where the motherships come out.
The missles will eventually kill the ships, and the repairs will keep you alive (assuming you kill enough of them as they approach)

Congratulations! You just won the "No One Could Hear You Scream" Badge and 60 points! Finally! lol...for the last mission, I used the same tactic as the single supership mission, except I built the parallel's downward instead of left.

I found a glitch - if you put the game on pause and then create a relay which connects exactly to two other relays or stations, a station will send there a bit of energy, which would be about 1/4 of full relay ;) keep this comment alive!

Overall, it's a great game, but the learning curve on Normal is (subjectively) about as steep (read: frustrating) as the one I encountered in GemCraft 0. And I'll echo what IceDrgn said just a few comments below: It's insane that your THELs merrily let the Motherships shoot everything to dust and instead play bug-zapper with a few dozen small fighters. Targeting priorities should be some sort of option here.
