Hi Phasma Felis!

Yes you are right, the game is not completely polished in that way. It's hard to see the game through a new set of eyes once you have stared at it for months.

I can give you some pointers.

1. Gatling is the best short range weapon. It is best to use gatling whenever you can afford it.
   Especially in episode 2 the key is to build up many Gatling guns as fast as possible, and continue on to missiles and plasmas from there. It is a really tough episode to beat.
   Plasma is very good for large ships, and awesome in general.
   Missile is also good in general.
   I would not invest in Orb weapons.
   Hangars and Fighters are awesome.
   In general the combination of Gatling guns, Plasmas/Missiles and hangars should give you a good chance to beat any episode
   

Keep on rocking!
