Instructions:
Try to escape the star system by using the black hole as a worm hole.
You need to collect a gravity shield for this which is hidden on one of the enemy planets.
Save as many astronauts from the enemy plants as possible as this will give you points to active the shield.
Also destroying battleships and hunts will help you.
Dashboard:
The shield symbol occurs when you have collected the gravity shield.
It turns from red to green if you have earned enough points to activate it.
When it is active, you can fly to the black hole.
