Tips
Priority After Battleship
Once you have Battleships, keep levelling Hyperspace Drive. Each level cuts flight times significantly for your most valuable combat ships.
Level 8 for Bomber
Bomber players should reach Hyperspace Drive 8 to trigger the drive upgrade from Impulse to Hyperspace — the Bomber's speed nearly doubles.
