King of the Hill (Substrate)

[Aurora]

Is impossible. Not enough resources. By the time I got two factories and can build some units, there are already 3 Cruisers in my base and a full group of frigates taking my resources.
How the hell am I supposed to ♥♥♥♥ out the counters within a minute of the game?
I need the quantum generator thing to even build cruisers. For that I need radioactives.
By the time I get to finish all that, the first two waves already are in my base.
The turrets I can build are worthless as well, take too long. You are not even given any default base defense.

It is impossible, which is the idea. You need base defence guns and drone hives in the early game

I mean by impossible it's impossible to even survive the first 5 to 10 minutes. Or I don't know how to even get past the first wave.

Forget building units early on, expect for a few frigates to take the nodes (including the none directly south). Then have engineers build turrets. Build a few turret cannons, then upgrade 1 to the lightning turret. Then start spamming out the upgraded MRV. Then start building Juggernaught production, since they come around 40 mins in.
