Rules
There are two EU mines, E1 and E2. Stand near one to harvest from it. Go back to base (DE) to deliver the EU. Once enough EU has been delivered, a battleship will launch. It will shoot at the enemy base. If the enemy captures the AA, it will fire a big rocket at your battleship. Once a base runs out of life, the game is over.

Primary Tips
1. Go for whichever mine is not being drained, or the one that has the most left in it. Mines give resources very slowly once depleted. However, I believe an Extractor will still increase the mining rate.

2. You don’t need to fill your tanks to deliver. If you die before delivering, the enemy can pick up all the EU you were carrying. Deliver early if it’s necessary for survival.

3. Watch both team’s progress. If either team is close, you should probably head for AA, and tell your teammates to do likewise.

4. If you are delivering and have enough energy to launch, tell your teammates so.

5. When you can, destroy the enemy battleship’s 2 Turrets. They severely increase its damage output, but don’t have much life.

6. If you are physically incapable of capturing the AA, just shoot the battleship down. It takes a while, but it’s better than just feeding kills to your enemies. Many players (at least on US West) do not understand this and will continue vainly attempting to capture the AA.

7. If your team has the AA defended very well, go forth and destroy those that would dare shoot at your battleship.

8. When following tip 6, be careful of people that are following tip 7.

9. When your battleship is destroyed, check the enemy’s launch progress. If they’re close, stay at the AA and tell your teammates to do likewise.

10. Follow your teammates’ commands. They usually know what they’re doing.

Secondary Tips
11. If someone starts shooting at you while you are on your way to deliver, keep moving. Get your EU as close to your base as possible so that you can pick it up after your respawn, providing they don’t pick it up.

12. If you are playing a fast class and an enemy runs away from an EU mine, chase after them. This is exactly what they don’t want you to do.

13. When a battleship is destroyed, it sprays EU all over the ground under it.

14. When a battleship is launched, the EU mines turn off. However, you can always deliver energy, even if the objective does not show up on your HUD.

15. Launching a battleship while the enemy controls the AA is a bad idea. However, if your base is very low on life, launch a battleship to protect your base for a short time. You’re still probably going to lose, but all of the enemies’ computers might suddenly lose internet connection in a freak accident.

16. If you’re winning by a lot, don’t relax. Once, I played a game where the enemy base only had 12 life left, then suddenly they destroyed our battleship and managed to launch one of their own. We won anyway, but the point is… well, I don’t really know what the point is. Just learn something.

17. While sniping is very annoying to the enemies at the AA, it does not capture the AA.

18. Be prepared to deal with very annoying snipers, despite the fact that they are not capturing the AA.

19. Never give up. I once won a game with only 19 base life left. I also got a killstreak of 6. Okay, I’m just bragging now.
