I wonder how it's possible to get over 19 minutes on Survival and 18 on The Swarm, just can't figure that out

I feel the same way about Ransom! lol
For Survival and Swarm, I imagined what my ideal station would look like to withstand a horde of invaders and then built it.
My notes for each level are these:
The Swarm
Set up defense with a block of 4 guns first (two on the top next to each other, two on the bottom next to each other.)
While that's building, build one of each level one structure.
Build up garage-chain
Sell CL and build up that chain until you have unlocked Fusion 1.
|
Final arrangement:
8 Hangar 1s on the middle eight spokes.
2 Fusion 1s, Dynamo Generator, Generator
Berthas in every other spot
Survival
$10k @ 10:48 left
Apparently, my notes on survival are lacking lol. Basically, at the end you should have two banks of four guns each on opposite sides of the station to try and break up the attackers as much as possible. Make as many Hangars as you can with the left-over space.

8 hangar 1s
haha, I have had two at the most
EDIT: btw, on Ransom! you need to build a Dance club, Museum, Used-ship emporium, Cryptography lab and a Pond (if you didn't know that)

The Repair Glitch makes for all kinds of possibilities. It's amazing how indestructible you can seem when you have so many repair bots.
But finding the right balance is the best way to get the top scores.
On Survival, I tried just four guns and eight Hangar 2s, but that didn't get anywhere near the record time, so I guess even the little repair droids have their limits =).
I also tried six guns (three on each side) w/ six Hangar 2s, but that was a dismal attempt too. I can't imagine a better set-up on Survival; after that, it's all luck. I tried a few more times yesterday, but didn't even break my own time.
Thanks for the tips on Ransom. All this time, I never knew you got a reward for building up the info and trade lines, since they don't come ask for you something in the beginning of the level. Makes a big difference! =)

Yeah, I finally squeaked out the last few seconds on Ransom! although it had me very frustrated.
So many times, I'd get stuck at a 3.9 station rating. Then, I'd get careless and sell the wrong thing. Then, when I was nearly finished I built 2 Comedy Clubs instead of a Dance hall lol.
What level are you working on now? I'm gonna' go tackle Adv Ch 3 for a bit =).

I'm still waiting on my GameFly copy of GoW. I'm not a huge war/shooter fan, but the game is visually amazing! =)

Just four seconds; I posted a 23:19.
One thing about that level is that I'm always hesitant to start the big final sale. I get pretty riled up when I come up $89 short =).
Are you playing multiplayer too? What's your favorite part of GoW, so far?

Ransom! is my favorite level, I'm not gonna give up until I've taken back my #1 spot
it's nice, now it's a little competition on the leaderboards, just sad GoW is so damn good

I don't know what my favorite level is, but it's probably one where I get to blow things up =).
Before you know it, the new Ninjabee game will be out and OKX will get pushed back farther into our backlog =).

I remember when we were in the Cloning Clyde leaderboard race. We need to stop our Viva Pinata (I haven't played Gears, but this rocks!) and go get my into the top 10! I never got past my 12 spot!!! We need to do the multiple clyde glitch for 60k (right #?).
I usually save before I sell, but I have noticed that even when I do that, sometimes certain variables change (like customers buying habits). For instance, I might have a $5,000 at 3 minutes on the first run, and $5,000 at 3 minutes and 6 seconds on the second run.
