Best Strategies and Ships for the Different Difficulties

Hey there Daviylax!

Welcome to the forums. The key to winning is to use the Battlestations in the galaxy to your advantage. Also use the distress beacons strategically to avoid massive fights. You can for example use a distress beacon when you are at a Battlestation to lure the enemies in to be obliterated.

If you find a flak cannon use it It is superb in short range but you have to have something to take out the shields first. Also use missiles and rocket turrets.

Remember that you can repair for free at a battlestation. Use that to your advantage. This is a little brutal but sometimes you might want to sacrifice a ship that you are escorting, let it soak up some of the damage. Hard choices!
