You could try selling your copy to someone else. Seriously though the technique
is something along these lines but try various combinations.

Restart the game. NOTE: A strategy game or you will never get any fuel. (BUG!)
Go straight to the island named 'Isolus'.
This takes some time so build an extension on your house while your waiting.
When you get there shave, then put a base on the island. Move just out of range
of the island and wait for the enemy carrier to attack the island then breeze
in there and blow it to smithereens. Simple. The carrier puts up little or no
resistance at all.

The game is a joke.

Sorry but you're going to be eternally frustrated.
Get a proper game like Joust or Super Sprint instead.
