Difficulty?

@Forty In Red - glad things worked out for you. I have to say that next to Mega Plasma and Death Rays, the Projectile Cannon is probably one of the best weapons to use. They can operate effectively at a distance, shred thru fighters, and, as a side effect of their inaccuracy, can slaughter grouped capital ships. They definitely my go to weapon.

Currently, I'm working on an all laser run...even for my drones. Was pretty tough starting out, but I just got my second Armada and still on map 2...so things seem to be in order. I am cheating slightly...I did get a death ray from a drop with a range under 900, so I deemed this as acceptable. Otherwise, all other lasers are human. I'll see if I can get through with just the human weapons the rest of the way.
