finally got over 10,000 points
Rank: lieutenant commander
points: 31,336
how i did it: at first i always tried upgrading flak cannon first and shields for the base and that didn't work. eventually i decided to upgrade missile reload time as my first objective. worked out perfectly then moved on to shields. But eventually i got raped badly by the green missiles. let this be a reminder GO FOR THE GREEN ONES FIRST!
good game overall
