• Keep moving — a stationary ship is an easy target.
• Large asteroids split into two medium ones, which split into two small ones. Clear the small ones first when possible.
• Use hyperspace only in emergencies — you reappear in a random location.
• UFOs appear periodically. The fast ones shoot accurately; the slow ones shoot randomly.
• You get brief invulnerability after respawning. Use it to reposition.
