Tip 1

-----

In the early game, the basic defensive turrets can stop the 

computer-controlled AI dead in its tracks. Make the entry 

to your base area a field of turrets, and you can leave 

it on autopilot for quite a while. 

 

Tip 2

-----

Of course, you'll also run into the turrets set up by the 

computer-controlled player. To take these out, bring on a 

strike force of units equipped with plasma rifles and set 

their initiative to low. With a low initiative, your forces

(when given the order) will attack in place rather than 

advance. Then move within range of your rifles, but beyond 

the range of the turrets and simply pummel your enemies 

into submission. 

 

Tip 3

-----

If you can spot an attack force early on, send out a squad 

or two to meet it. Then backpedal toward your base. More 

often than not, one of the opposing units will advance 

ahead of its comrades. Concentrate all of your fire on it, 

and it will either retreat or get destroyed. Keep up this 

tactic, and you can decimate a large attack force with 

only a few units. 

 

Tip 4

-----

Keep your eyes on your mines! If a mine gets destroyed, 

it will take forever to build another one. Also, make 

sure that you keep track of how many BTUs your mine has 

left, and locate another site for a new mine before you 

run dry. 

 

Tip 5

-----

When you locate an enemy base, first take out the military 

factories and then the constructors. Finally, escort in your 

own constructors to capture the remaining structures to give 

you a new "home away from home."
