Discuss Battlestation: First Contact here!

Thanks for making this section.

I can only make it to about level 45 or so without getting completed swamped.

Im trying a dozen different strategies and just cant figure it out. It seems to be quite random with what enemies get thrown at you. The shields just arent strong enough and then they take out all your weapons and just leave you sitting there. Calling in battleships is nice, but they are so expensive, you have to choose between them or weapons on your ship
