Except for the first couple of saucers which require just a few hits, I mostly ignored the saucer until I got a multiball going - during the ball saver you can bang the saucer like mad with zero risk. Multiball also helps a lot with achieving Super Jets - send other balls into the jets to party and you can concentrate on other things.Speaking of Super Jets in context of Rule the Universe: after you complete Super Jets, it is important to not drain the ball before you start RTU. If you do, you have to complete S-jets all over again before you can start your next RTU and that gets increasingly difficult each time. Flipping this around, if you do not drain after completing S-jets, that goal will be already completed for you after RTU, since S-jets has been active all the time.Generally I played with RTU in mind, which I completed 7 or 8 times (lost count of that). But as the game continued, Total Annihilation became more valuable than RTU. The Annihilation Award maxes out at 250 million which makes Total Annihilation a huge scoring opportunity. Make 4 shots and you've got a billion. Get the Annihilation Jackpot and you've got another billion just like that. Stack that with Martian Multiball and you get something extra from missed shots with no effort at all. RTU is limited to 10 billion. Just a few minutes of TA can get you much more, and there's no limit if you can just keep it going.Speaking of bonuses, ball 2 gave me a 64 billion bonus (at 210 X): <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8hS25okrw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8hS25okrw</a></blockquote>
