Is the goal to not buy any upgrades?
If you tried that, you're in for a really long ride. Just because of fuel alone, you're not going to get much more than 30 minerals per phase.
Are there certain upgrades I should buy?
It doesn't take too much thought to figure out a generally optimal path.
First off, you'll want mobility. I mean, seriously, who grabs floating shyt in space when they crawl at 5 pixels per second at maximum speed? (exaggeration)
Next would be upping the frequency of the rainbow minerals. When you compare the frequency of both regular and rainbow minerals and factor in their worth, rainbows are worth more. This is verified when you max both of them.
Next would be to up your fuel capacity. You're inevitably going to run out of fuel anyways, mind as well start with your fuel capacity. And in the mishap that you get dinged by an asteroid, you'll live better as opposed to waiting for a gas pickup.
After that, it'll be a balancing act between rainbows, mobility, slower drops, and fuel. You can't go too wrong, but the idea is that you are able to collect as many rainbows as you can, as fast as you can, for as long as you can.
I am having problems with this medal. :(
