Hi John,
Yes. As Philip has answered the game will destroy objects and
variables when they go out of scope. In addition BGT has a built-in
garbage collector which cleans up after itself so you don't have to
worry about cleaning up after yourself. BGT will automatically handle
all that for you.

Hi John,
You can simply use a boolean variable to test if the enemy or item is
in play or not like this.

UpdateEnemy1();
}

{
UpdateItem1();

Hi John,
Ouch! You definitely need some practice then. Try an offensive
strategy by getting all your ships together and attack the enemies
before they get to your starbases. If you try to play a defensive
strategy by waiting on the enemy to attack chances are it will be too
late to stop them. They
Hi John,
The Impulse Drive is the ship's standard thrusters for patrolling a
certain sector of space, for maneuvering when docking, or to act as
back up if your warp drive gets wasted by an enemy ship. Put another
way it is better to be able to move slowly than not at all.
Cheers!

Yes, I have beaten the game many times on all skill levels. There are
a number of strategies that can aid you in defeating the enemies. It

Maybe so, but that person obviously doesn't know squat about

Yes, that is fine because of the built-in garbage collector. It'll make sure
that everything is destroyed properly even in the scenario you describe.

I'm wondering if it's safe to remove an object from an array, if

I am not quite sure what you mean by destruction method. If you mean the
