- To eco up mass income efficiently, first upgrade all safe T1 mexes to T2, then surround the T2 mexes with storages, after that upgrade the T2 mexes to T3
- ACU Overcharge deals 12 000 damage to units, 400 damage to ACU's and 800 damage to buildings.
- You can see mass values for reclaimable wrecks after enabling it in the options, after that just press ctrl+alt
- General advertisements for useful UI mods? (Hotkey labels, additional camera stuff, ecomanager, UI party etc.)
- Try not to overflow mass or stall energy, even without making extra storages
- Don't build mass fabricators unless you have upgraded every available T2 mex to T3

A few for starters.

Alt+rightclick for issuing attack move which can be used with factories and engineers to reclaim quickly.
Do not build energy storages next to power generators - they are expensive and explode, meaning your power grid is extremely vulnerable and inefficient.
Remember to build tactical missile defenses to prevent your opponent from destroying your buildings. LIkewise, always check for enemy TMD and use that to your advantage.
If you are being aggressive with your commander, always bring some mobile anti-air, or a shield, preferably both.
You can configure your ui in the settings - which includes many useful features like always render strategic icons, and GAZui functionality.
You can configure Hotbuilding in your keybindings menu - F1 by default - which allows you to quickly order units and buildings.
Remember to always check the game title before joining and making sure your rating is correct for that game.

Quick Tip: At least one energy storage and 5000 energy is needed to fire the ACU's overcharge cannon.

-Scout on a regular basis, especially if you want to attack
-Always build an airfactory, dont rely on your airplayer
-Use airstations to refill your fighters
-Cover as much of the map with radar as you can
-ACUs in water are harder to spot and snipe. Use this especially in the lategame.
-Grey mex and factory icons indicate, that they got upgraded.
-Always pay attention to your acu.

-Remember to shield your important buildings such as: t2 and t3 power, ACU, t2 and t3 radar, nukes and antinukes, artillery and game enders
-If possible use adjacency when building structures(can/should be made more specific)
