 1. Research BUG

 Invade a planet that has at least 10 outposts constructed on it.
 Immediately build a Lush Growth Bomb.After the Lush Growth Bomb
 is completed, delete 10 outposts. After you do this, you will
 recieve credit for a Xeno Dig on your next turn.

 2. Shielding BUG

 If you find yourself being attacked and always losing to invasions, there
 is a simple method. First, on a planet that has a missle base and is being
 attacked, start building an orbital shield. When the enemy attacks, he will
 destroy the shield that is being built. Then before you return fire, go to
 the planet screen and start production on another orbital shield. You can
 continue to do this indefinitely. It will work without a missle base if you
 just want to hold them off until your ships arrive.
