Thank you letter from us here at Bugbyte

@seether166 - yeah, I felt like the Nuke was a little OP at first too. Then I remembered:
1.) How long it took to unlock (it isn't available from the start)
2.) How long it takes to research, each game that you want to use it
3.) The fact that it costs 2k per turret (!)
4.) The reload time is insane, something like 20s

I've come to the same conclusion @joe1512 has, maneuver your ships so you can deliver a devastating alpha strike, then fade away while reloading. I find this strategy works in general, as it can take fighters a few seconds to get into the fray from behind your lines.
