Our general strategy tends to go like this: 1. Start of game, figure out who has which types of cards. Find somebody who has lots of "C" Action cards to wiggle the computer mouse 2. When the first threat(s) are revealed, players decide to be responsible for that threat or not. For example, if a player has no "A" action cards, they would say that they can't help against a particular threat 3. Usually the player with the battlebots and "C" Card(s) gets stuck dealing with Internal Threats. These are usually the most problematic if they show up in the first couple turns since it takes at least 3 turns to activate the Battle Bots and then go to where the Threat is. Keeping track of the location of internal threats is still something we have problems with.
Basically, the default action is to do nothing, or maybe replenish the shields/generators. When a new threat is revealed, 1 or more players should claim responsibility for it, and the other players should pretend like that threat doesn't exist. Too many people worrying about 1 threat tends to cause overkill, and then some other threat gets through. When all else fails, fire a bunch of rockets or keep activating the lower level cannons (the ones with the yellow battery cube). Or alternate between firing the Pulse Cannon and refilling the central generator.
