Difficulty?

Yeah, once you can build up your laser count it gets easy. I did finish but my score was a bit lacking. Enemy fighters and missiles were the biggest issue starting out. I had to do a lot of hit and fades to get heavily populated maps completed. Going all missiles for this next challenge. Had to start out this current run with projectiles and an energy weapon. But I have to have my weapons replaced with missiles before I can get another ship or leave the map.
