Minibosses

　　You will encounter multiple minibosses throughout your mission. Unlike normal enemies, they do not drift off the map and will continue to pursue your ship until they succeed or are destroyed. Minibosses are much more difficult to take down and are rumored to carry an unknown power source. More data is needed.

　　SHIP UPGRADES You can level up your ship by collecting XP loot from enemies to add new systems and increase their power. Having these abilities will drastically increase your chances of survival.

Mining & Materials In order to mine asteroids for materials, you'll first need to obtain the Drill upgrade when leveling up. There's a chance it will pop up every time you level up. When activated, your trusty Drill bot will begin following your ship around. If you are within range of an asteroid, the Drill will automatically mine the asteroid until it breaks to reveal materials.

　　Gather materials to purchase higher level (3+) S-GEAR from the shop. You can increase your cargo size with the Cargo upgrade so you can carry even more. The normal max is a 25 material limit per mission without a Cargo upgrade.

　　TIPS Watch out for opportunities to damage minibosses while moving around

　　Choose damaging upgrades to gain an early advantage

　　Focus on enemies you can destroy in one hit to maximize XP

　　You will need to slow down fast-moving asteroids to mine them

　　Zippers have a chance to drop really rare items
