Ignore the largest asteroid size and the very smallest chunks of asteroid (which can't produce minerals) but destroy every other one that gets in your way. Zoom out so you can see what's coming long before it reaches you. Bind your mining lasers to the 1 key (double click a laser, control+1). Step 3: The first asteroid field is upon us! Brace yourselves because this is going to be rough even with the best possible preparations! Because our one laser cannot destroy the largest asteroids sizes before they reach our ship, we may take damage here. Queue up 2 Mining Lasers, 3 Small Heat Vents, 2 Solar Panels, and a CPU Panel. I like to expand the left or right side out and use the initial floor space as a hallway. We want to be as efficient as possible so make sure you place them where they will be useful for expanding the interior floor later on. You'll need to add a few Hull squares (engineering tab) to fit all this.

This will give you the means to tackle any asteroid other than the largest size (ignore those for now). We'll also need the hatch to make sure an unlucky asteroid doesn't destroy all our storage (that's game over)! Put the lasers in front for best range. Do the hatch first so we don't lose any material from the engine dismantle.

Now queue up a Cargo Hatch, 2 Mining Lasers, 3 Small Heat Vents, 2 Solar Panels, and a CPU Panel (all in engineering and utility tabs). Go to the Plan menu and select Remove (bottom of the list). In this guide, we'll go with the latter (I prefer relying on RNG as little as possible). You can either keep your Engine and make 1 Mining Laser or Remove your Engine and get a 2nd laser.

Step 2: The first threat we need to prepare for is asteroids. Arrange them along the left and right sides of the screen in whatever way makes sense to you. Go ahead and open every menu (at the top) other than Colors (the far right). Right now we need all the builders we can get so go to your Roles menu (up at the top) and set everyone to Engineers. Games And Theory Starship Troopers Step 1: Pause! We need to get things sorted before the chaos begins. Now we are ready to start tricking out our sweet ride. Get one crew with 3 Intellect and another with 3 Engineering.Beyond that, Speed (green) is always helpful, mostly for engineers and it's good for the other 2 crew to have decent skill in either engineering or science. You will always want a good engineer on hand to build and maintain your craft and you will need at least one strong scientist to man the research console. What you really want is one crew with 3 skill in Engineering (orange) and a different crew with 3 skill in Intelligence (blue). Right after you hit 'New Game' you will be asked to select your crew. If you are past the point of wanting to figure things out on your own and just want help to get a good start, this guide should suffice. Half the fun of these games is trying, failing, and learning so I encourage you to only use this guide as a last resort.

It is for new players who are at their wit's end trying to figure out how to survive the first half hour of chaos. This is a walkthrough for version 1.1 of Starship Theory.
