Actually, I suppose I should mention a few other things also.

First, there does seem to be a definite order in which to travel through the
system, and it seems each planet should only be visited once.  By an amazing
coincidence, it appears that is the order of the planets in the system.

I have found little use for most of the weapons availible other than the mortar
(cannon, balls, can't remember name) and the sonic mining laser.  Others are
also good (pulse laser, peripheral guns) but not worth it (of course, I've only
got about 1/3-1/2 way through the game)

Notice: Prices for weapons vary CONSIDERABLY! You may find stuff cheaper later
on, when you need it.

Other than that, the best combat strategy seems to be run backwards at full
speed and shoot them one by one (in space).  For the space serpents, go to the
opposite corner that they exited the screen if you value your shields.  If the
serpent fires, you have to go in  the MIDDLE of the diamond of fire to survive!
And, of course, never kill the boss on the ground, run through him.
