Hint: Xeno Dig credit:
Land on a planet that has at least ten outposts. Immediately build a Lush Growth Bomb. After it is built, delete ten outposts. You will receive credit for a Xeno Dig on the next turn.

Hint: Orbital Shield decoy:
When a planet with a missile base is being attacked, immediately start construction of an Orbital Shield. The enemy should destroy the under-construction shield. Before counter-attacking, go the planet screen and start building another Orbital Shield.
