1. Antimatter Stockpiles

This is perhaps the most important of the H&T on offer - NEVER SPEND Antimatter on ANYTHING other than charging your Battle Reactor! No joke.

When you look at the game play screen you will see in the top-left-corner your ship's Level number and below that, a five-bar meter that indicates the charge for your Battle Reactor. The Battle Reactor is what powers your weapons and drive - if that gets empty you are dead in the water.

The Battle Reactor - and the charging of it - can be thought o fas the move-limiting aspect of game play. That being the case, and Antimatter being so difficult to come by as a reward item, unless you are prepared to spend real-world money on it, you are best off not using it as noted above.

The thing is they make that very hard to do. Sure, restricting your Antimatter to just charging your Battle Reactor makes total sense, but considering that the rare resource is also used to skip timers short and long, as well as pay for the more rare items and kit - as well as crew members - and you can see how it might be a problem.
