Each room is different.  Go down to the bottom, kill the creeper and get the launchers.  Then pick the weakest room to kill first, then continue with that, collecting guns as you go.  The top left room is designed to be killed last.  By then you should have more than enough blasters to kill the drones there.

Spoiler

Get the Beacon Upgrade and go down the left side. You can build lots of Reactors and then Tech Domes and NOT have to face any enemies until you have upgraded your guns. Hurry, you need to save the bottom Micro Rift before it is destroyed (about 7 minutes).

Hint for tough rooms: You can fill the "safe area" with Anti-Creeper and then Shields. Drones will NOT target anything they don't have a path to without the Micro Rift. Be careful. If they target something that moves through a Micro Rift they WILL use it to follow their target. Keep building shields until the tough Drones are weakened and/or reduced enought for your (upgraded) Blasters to move in and handle.

Save often and if you lose a Blaster (especially at the beginning) reload and try again.

Good Luck!

Ive always wondered why the drones dont Always travel thru the rifts, this explains it.  Also I never knew there was a pause button till 6 months ago lol.  What an amazing and complex game this is.

"p" and "n" are a score fanatic's best friend. Dialog boxes that UNpause the game are his worst enemy. ;)
