Your main goal in The Belt is to destroy the enemy base, and you do this by
utilizing your limited arsenal of weapons. Your main weapon is the Plasma
Blast, which has a range long enough to damage the enemy's turrets. Your plasma
blast has unlimited ammo, but it takes a little bit to recharge between each blast.
Photon Space Charges are bundles of tightly bound photonic energy that explode when
struck by a plasma blast. These little bundles of joy have many uses, from clearing
large amounts of asteroids at a time to destroying pesky reflector droids. Use them
wisely, however, since you only begin each round with two of them!
Relay droids can be used to redirect and extend the range of your plasma blasts.
You do this by firing a relay droid out into the asteroid belt. After your relay
droid reaches its destination, you can rotate it towards the target you wish to
destroy. Then, simply fire a plasma blast from one of your main turrets at the
relay droid. The relay droid will capture the plasma blast and send it winging
in a new direction and for a longer range.
Reflector droids act as mobile shields that you can place out in the belt to thwart
your enemy. Reflector droids bounce plasma blasts off of their energy shields,
but are vulnerable to the power of a Photon Space Charge. The Reflector droid
also take a considerable amount of time to deploy, so think about sending these
out early since they are vulnerable to attack until their shields have developed.
