Destroy the drones
I feel like I've tried 30 different combinations, yet I still can't crack this.
Any hints?
You should put the shields as close to the gateways as possible to buy yourself as much time as possible. Use spare energy to build blasters (use disconnect so you don't use more energy then you have). Try to use blasters as much as possible as blasters are more energy efficiënt then shields.
If you can get two blasters fast enough you can survive forever while slowly gaining energy. (You can get the second blaster at 1:15 at best 1:30 should be fast enough).
I can get 2 blasters, but mine deffo cannot survive forever. I get them around 1:25, and start to gain energy, but around 2:05 they always end up being overwhelmed. I don't know if there is some "magic" position for the blasters, I've tried both above, and below LS, but once the top spawner increases pace, the blasters are overwhelmed.

two things are important for surviving with two blasters.
Spoiler
1. you can't cover everything with two blasters. the other spawners must be protected with shields
Spoiler
2. after some time those shields have to be rebuilt. To do this the drones must be pushed back. This should allow 2 shields on the sides and 3 at the top and bottom.
If you can't go forward one cell with a blaster without a drone destroying it try this:
Spoiler
To better
sync its shots with the spawner quickly disarm and arm it again
If you can find a way to do this succesfully you can survive forever.
