Your mission is to destroy as many Hyperion Military Bases as possible. You can fire missiles through the gaps in the Force Field or from inside the Force Field. If you are able to sneak inside, you must quickly destroy the Base before the Force Field closes in on your Assault Ship. This is no easy task! The Base can construct electrifying Shields during battle and is protected by a variety of deadly defenders. If you are able to avoid all of them, you will be truly deserving of the title Spacemaster X-7.

The Manual said:
As always, you really should read the manual.
What's that? You don't have the manual? AtariAge has a typed copy online. In case you're too lazy to read the manual, here's the hints it provides:
- Watch to see which type of defense weapon is forming within the Base. Each acts differently and requires a different strategy.
- On the higher levels, avoid the area where the Shields will appear first. Otherwise, you could get hit with no warning.
- When moving through the Force Field, try to fly directly toward the base, then fire when you are almost touching it. As soon as you hit the button, you will stop moving.
- At very high levels take your time and hit the Base from outside the Field until the energy level drops and the outer Shields are absorbed.

These are my personal tips:
-If you have an opening and you think you can make it without being hit by an enemy, dart in and then unload on the base.
-If you need to take shots at the base from outside the shield, try to time your shots carefully, since hitting the shield restores power to the base.

My tips - for when the levels get harder
Start of round
A) stay on the extreme left/right edge of the screen
B) at the start of the round, line up horizontally with the closest shield so your shots will rapid fire
C) If the enemy in the middle is the Fireball, Heat Seaker or Homer then stay put and rapid firing against the shield. The Heat Seaker and Homer will come at you and end up in your line of fire. Ignore the Fireball.
D) Once a Bouncer or Wander appear your set to start attacking the Hyperion Base.
Take out the Base
1) To attack the Base wait for the pulsing Force Field to begin to collapses inward.
2) As it collapses inward move your ship up/down to where the point of the force field would touch the left/right edge of the screen if it where fully expanded.
3) Take a shot or two when the force field is closest to the Base.
4) Move up/down out of the way as the force field expands.
5) go back to step 1
While attacking the base avoid hitting the Bouncer or Wander. If you do you'll need to go back to A in case a Fireball, Heat Seaker or Homer show up to replace it.
