LMAO This mission is insane. It was tough enough on 4 stars, but on 5 this is absolute madness. The enemies are incredibly hard to destroy and they cut you down so fast, I am wondering what the hell the developers were thinking with this one. I had an easier time with Close and Personal on 5 stars, and that was tough!

Edit: Whew! I got it. And I ended up with just a hair under 64 thousand too. I think I figured out how to do it consistently too, but what a tough ass mission.

Congratulations! For future reference, the secret is the bonus time Quasar Orbs.

If you are talking about the Yellow spheres I already knew about them. My big problem was that in 5 star difficulty I was getting to the end of the course and literally making sure I hit EVERY SINGLE orb and destroyed it, and kept coming up like a thousand short! What a nightmare. Finally, I figured out that by destroying the black/red orbs FIRST I was losing points because they would explode (not give me points) and reduce the points I got from my Blue orbs!! WOuld have been nice for the game to tell me that little fact. <eyeroll>

So I started getting the yellow orbs FIRST rather than last, this way I could stack my points by getting more blue orbs while in Jackpot Time, and I started aiming AWAY from the black/red orbs and trying only to get them LAST, after all the blue and yellow ones were already destroyed.

Dude just get that "Quasar Turret Launcher" weapon and chuck three or four around him and hide behind you're omnishields. Also if it takes to long just use the "Super Nova" and the "Dual Raptors"
