Seriously. New Hope 3 is just awful. You're constantly being swarmed and it doesn't feel fun. I tried to make a base and it just felt unfun and stressed. I've tried rushing the ship, that doesn't work either. It just feels like it's too difficult to be a part of the campaign. Maybe it should be moved to a "Challenges" campaign, or it should have the amount of spawners reduced and actually add some coal/iron etc. spawns.

You may have a look at this:

The usage of the capsules is meanwhile a lot easier.
You know, this game is still alpha, so if you have time left:
It is a very good idea to describe your problems in detail, cause the devs are very keen in optimizing the levels. The "older players" can't tell that, cause they know how to solve that.

Hello,
- What was your difficulty?
- Did you use capsules, mainly the defender robots capsule?
- Did you get the supplies from the first wreck?
This level was intended as some basic guide to let the user learn the capsules and their importance, but maybe the instructions are not clear enough.

I didn't have any problems with it after I figured out how the capsules worked. It took me a try or two though because I first didn't realize they were temporary and because you had a limit, so I ended up wasting all of my stack in my first attack attempting to spawn 40 of them at once, and the remainder that stayed poofed away. It would be nice if there was a quick popup explaining the capsules.

This would be the best candidate for the small tutorial rooms I have in mind.
