I decided to come back and take another crack at it after having breakfast and my morning coffee, and I think I improved my score a fair bit. One useful tip I learned while playing this time which isn't in the instruction manual is that once you reach the 5th level of difficulty at 3,200 points and above, letting a red death ship touch the ground becomes an instant game over no matter how many lives you have stockpiled. At that point in the game instead of disappearing and taking away 1 life when the death ship touches the ground the ship just bounces up and down on the ground draining all of your lives in about half a second, so once you cross the 3,200 point threshold you cannot let a death ship reach the ground or it's game over.

 

Anyhoo...

 

 

Encounter at L-5 (B/B Difficulty, Default Settings): 3,843
