1. After re-fueling at a fuel base, fire into the air before lifting off. If the re-fueling pipe comes out again then the dump still has some fuel in it. If the pipe doesn't re-emerge the dump can be shot for an extra 100 points. ** or just shoot it any way 'cos most of the levels can be completed without re-fueling anyway.
   
   
2. When going through teleports, fly slowly and activate your shield just as you touch the teleporter - this reduces the risk of impacting your ship on the sides of a small cavern.
   
   
3. When creating new planetoids, if you require a more powerful installation such as a stronger attractor or repulser or a rapid fire gun turret then simply place two or more of the same object in the same position, each hit destroys one of them. *** This is a good one!! But try doing this: Put 1 of the buildings with oids in it on the level (so you can pay it! (did you know that if you don't put any oids on the planet you warp to it and complete it instantly!) now get the big installation and put as many as you can in the same place, you can now shoot them one by one (in which case you'll probably die), or fire a missile into them and watch your score jump to around 600,000. A nice way to make the high score table look impressive.
