I can't get past level 5, any suggestions?

I can't seem to be able to get past level 5. I can't build as many ships as the Giotori and I'm not fast enough to do this. Help.

All right. I managed to finish mission 5. But is mission 6, in compasrison to levle 5, harder or easier than level 5?

Let's just say...

It's easier if you are um...let's say...in control of things. It's very, difficult if you mess up in the beginning.

Good luck on level 15...

There are only 3 kinds of people: those who can count, and those who can't.

The secret to level 15, Joveia, is to let your HVD stay as far away from the station as possible. I checked in Hera. It had a Proximity condition. If your HVD gets near the station, the 3 carriers would appear. (And possibly assassinate your whole darn fleet.)

I always call down the carriers for a challenge. Its just so easy otherwise to win by sending both the capships straight to the station, capturing it, and then seizing the planet with overwelming force.

My trick is not to use any fullerene pulses until you call in the bad guys. Then 2/3 of them will come, and 2 carriers ain't that hard.

Confidence and courage are the essentials of successful posting.

I was confident, and I suppose it could be described as "courageous," but it was still silly and doesn't fit, see. So there's more than just the essentials if one is to successfully post.

Confidence comes from not being right, but not fearing to be wrong.

Heh, I just cheated after like, well, I think the first Sal mission. Maybe it more towards 13. I actually haven't beaten the game legit! Bwahahaha! Wow, that makes me weak. It's still a lot of fun though.
You know, I never knew about that whole HVD thing on 15. I'd always take the destroyer right up to the station and start hammering away. Of course it was when I wasn't cheating (using Elejee or Obain) that I found it challenging. Even using the Elejeetians it is a bit of a challenge if you call in all the carriers. I had no problems up to the Sal Spacelab level. Of course I always hated those Gaitori gunships...

I shredded the singleplayer in a single day 😛 Always thought Levels 13, 15 and 17 were easy unless you played 13 on a slow, laggy comp ala my 25Mhz LC III. IME toughest level was Hornet's Nest-still can take me two tries to beat it.

Yeah, I stayed up a bit last night (started at like 11:00) and got to Shoplifter two by 1:00 AM, I guess I wasn't really focusing though, I watched some of a movie and took a shower. I'll keep at it today.

I think that if you know what you're doing, like not to send your HVD to the outpost, then things are a bit easier. And Hornet's nest is definetly a hard level. I'm not all that great at Ares, but I haven't had the time to get that great. I start my job next week too, so I don't think that there's much of a chance I'll do too much improving this summer. Still is a fun game. I'd say gameplay outweighs graphics in this one.
