To get on the Hyades cluster, make a treaty with the Fel by visiting them regularly. Make a treaty with the Cisisbeo by telling them about Fel leaving and wiping out another race. To destroy the Lutins use the blaster turret against their fighters and then use kamikazes and fighters to take out their star base. When you meet Stentors use fighters to wipe out their red ships. With the Didnium send a guided missile to distract their lasers and then attack quickly with kamikazes. When you fight Broodmasters use a fighter to knock out their laser turret and then use a mix of kamikazes and main guns to take out their fighters. Don't exort goods from the Broodmasters as they give you a spindrive-activated bomb which cannot be removed
