When I start multiplayer I play tic tac toe and when I play it I start to make dilithium processors on each moon and when I'm done I make a bunch of sentries guns around worm hole and when I'm finnished I make 4 dilithuim collector ships and make sentries around moons and make a ship yard.

NOTE- you have to be actually playing for the cheats to work (just press enter)
mission skip- kobayashimaru
dilithium- showmethemoney
everything happens faster- avoidance.

THIS WON'T WORK IN MULTIPLAYER MODES

Always group your ships when attacking (use 'Alt' and '1-9'). To select ships, either click and drag or select 1 ship and hold on the shift key and select more.



Then, make sure your groups are full and get loads of groups. Rather than get 2-3 big groups, split them in half if you want to so you only have 4 in a group and have about 5-6 groups.



Science Ships (Nebula, Shadow ect.) cannot use their special weapons if grouped with other ships not of its Class.



Ships that are not Science ships and have only 1 special weapon can be grouped with one another..!

If you play on the map 'the central hub' I suggest that when you've set up ur base send a construction ship to the centre of the map.



Once there order him to biuld laser and torpedo turrets round ur enemies wormhole.



That way u destroy there ships as they come through and you starve them of dilithium.



The more the better!!!!!!
