Forum:Level 8 Boss

Greetings. New to the game here in 2017. Fantastic game. And this website is invaluable!

I am having a issue defeating the Level-8 Boss. He is a Red Boss. It's obvious he has some mods.

He has Neutron Rounds. Shields. He has the ability to build Starports quickly and goes exclusively with Tridents.

I have tried several strategies but have lost over 16 lives to this Boss. What I find difficult is how quickly he gets to build capital ships and before you know it several Tridents are on you like a swarm. How do you defeat this guy?
