Done with survival mode. My strategy: Cruiser on the first round, another Cruiser on second, Control and Heal on the third (use the control ship as a bait, keep the cruisers near the base and the heal ship behind it), 4-6 it's damage upgrade, 7-9 shield upgrade (use the extra points to heal your units), from level 10 onwards you can get the last upgrades and get up to six cruisers (that's all I needed to beat up to lvl 31). Have fun.

Survival mode is awful, you get 100 coins per level but before you can purchase a new droid, bam, you're repairers have drained you're cash, nice one.

grendel9....I do not mean to call you a liar but since you are lying....I guess that is what I am calling you. It is NOT able possable to get to lvl 29 your first attempt because everything here complaining about the diffulicty of surivival mode is correct its TO hard for the ore you get and the ships they send.

Liked the game, map need to be able to move outward. Feels in too close. Controls are awkward, repair ships are a pain (they circle around aimlessly and are annoying to control). Survival mode is difficult, but at least it's a challenge. Overall 3/5.

Controls are fine. Try to make something better with left click only. Although binds for building would be great.
Survival is a piece of cake: make cruiser, do upgrades, make more cruisers. Have one group for kiting (drones/controllers), one - for nuking. Send nukers on one target , one kiter on every other target. Kiters grab their targets and run in circles, nukers kill targets one by one.
Nice idea. Gief mroe content!!!1!!!11oneoneeleven

liked the game yes it can be sluggish but its nice, the only thing i would like is to be able to cancel building units, its really annoying when yoiu have 5 passive drones lined up and your being killed. ty

Got to wave 29 on my first try, surviving for 7 waves with only 3-5 attack drones. So I'm pretty sure all the complaints about difficulty are wrong. I'm pretty sure if I wasn't completely thrown off guard by the missiles (which brought my army of 12 drones down to about 5), I would've snatched up the hard badge. I might also have survived through the 30th wave if it weren't for a big glitch in the game, where lost drones continue to take up control after they're destroyed (particularly from bombs and missiles). That being said, the interface is imperfect but tolerable. My two biggest annoyances: 1) it's hard to move ships away from battle, since they default to attack mode. 2) It's nice that repair drones repair with a left-click, but for everything else, left-click selects a unit. The overlapping functionality confuses as much as it helps.

Controls are god-awful. Zoom level is way too close. No easy or intuitive way to move the map. Clunky controls mean lots of frustration trying to get your units to do what you want. Not worth overcoming to try and get badge/cards.

once i managed arcade mode, survival mode was a piece of cake.
just build those 100 ore attack ships when you can, and try to make some upgrades early when the opponents are still easy.
1-2 little repair drones & you are fixed

The startegy that everyone gave for the wave 30 badge completely doesn't work. They start sending 4 ships at a time and there is no ore to repair with...

Maybe it is just me, but i try to select a unit by clicking on it, and it is automatically deselected so I can't do anything. Cannot even beat the first mission because I cannot select my mother ship. Why is this the card challenge?

game glitched out on my so i didnt get the card when i should have im gonna cheat next time so i get it easier. Theres way too many bugs.

Control is kinda clunky. Using the arow keys to move the camera puts your hand far away from other useful keys. I often click on the screen and it deselects my unit instead of moving it. I don't like that upgrades don't affect already built units and there's no way to retrofit or sell them. Using or to make the most powerful unit fire is painful in survival mode.

The controls are fantastically awful. It seems the game is constantly conspiring to make the units do the OPPOSITE of what you want - and this is specially frustrating in survival, in which the battles last about 5 seconds and ONE wrong move can cause a disaster.

Some bugs to resolve...
Controll are waaay to laggy + non direct. An autofire overrules your order for a ship to go somewhere. The ranges at which ships start to fire differ with their speed, laggy.

no consideration for mac users. The controls are clunky. Movement is clunky. For a game that's really based on user control of units this game fails.

the AI sucks There are way to many bugs and survival mode goes from Ok this is easy to "I would sell my soul to make this game easier" hard in about 5 waves (not waves 1-5)

if your good at controlling your units u can easily get by with nvr more than 3 fully upgraded cruisers but dont get hit by a nuke or ur in trouble
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Totally. Frustrating.
1. A ship that's trading fire with an enemy ship can't be disengage by clicking elsewhere to move it away. It turns a bit, then re-engages. So trying to save it gets it killed faster.
2. Clicking a ship selects it -- unless the previously selected ship was a repair bot, when clicking a ship asks the bot to repair it.
3 - 100. Many more problems. Games like Warcraft, C&C, tons others got this right over a decade ago. Why promote this game on Kongregate's home page when it'll just irritate your users?

Ok, here's how to beat level 30 on survival: Start with a cruiser. Wave 2 build two repair drones and repair. From now on, alway put repair drones into one control group and cruisers into another. Now the important part: Move all your drones (if needed one by one) on top of the mothership so it takes all the damage. You'll have to use the stop command for that. Repair drones have to be set on auto repair again (repair icon must be orange) after you stopped them. After you have 3 cruisers, start researching armor and damage. Then go for 5 cruisers and at least 5 repair drones. Target the missiles first, but only after they're in attack range so your drones don't move. If you manage to keep your drones inside of the mothership, you should have researched everything by level 30.
