I wish that were the case, but I simply can't complete a single asteroid. There has to be a better way to control that thing. The virtual stick feels like trying to balance an elephant on a teacup. Argh!

It's best to start off with C or D class asteroids, that way the laser indicator won't swing around like a drunken ballet dancer It really does take practise and sometimes you have to fight with the slightly-unresponsive virtual stick to get the laser to stay on target.. but you WILL do it in the end! =)

That should give a bit clearer indication.

Many thanks. I remember during the tutorial it mentioning that you don't have to fully mine asteroids that are B Class and below, but I didn't remember how to abort without failing the entire mining process. That should help. I won't worry about Class A asteroids 'til later.

Does anyone know if I already have the HD version on the iPad, can I buy the standard version for my iPhone, on sale at .99, and get Valkyrie for free in the HD version?

You'll get the HD version of Valkyrie for free if you have the SD version installed, have purchased the SD version of Valkyrie, and have the SD version installed on the same device as the HD version.

That's really clever and never occurred to me. I assume once this unlocked you can delete them right?

I just started playing this (unfortunately), I bought this before but didn't have the space to install it on my older iPad. Anyway, its a very polished game, but the achievements don't work for me. Is there a solution to enable it?

Clearing up, you do not need Valkyrie SD to receive the free Valkyrie HD. Just the base GOF2 SD

Also, if you haven't already, there is a blueprint drill somewhere out there :P You might have used it somewhere near the very start of the game

Ok one question. I've saved up like 5 mil, and it was a b**** to grind, now that they balanced the organs . But anyways, should I go with the Veteran, or the Aegir? I'm stuck because is the turret effective? Some input would be much appreciated
