    1) Be careful with "Super Soldiers." Devoutly nationalistic nice guys: Good. Zombies, giant spiders, or humans with enhanced aggression and dampened empathy: Bad.

    2) DON'T punch holes in the fabric of space. Just don't.

    3) You find organic matter, ancient ruins, or deserted space craft on a planet thought to be unpopulated. LEAVE IT ALONE.

    5) if you want to expand across the galaxy, don't append civilian elements to a formerly entirely conquest-focused military expedition as a late aftethought. the military guys won't like it.

    6. Anyone-I mean ANYONE- seemingly human can actually be a robot. Usually a robot on the enemy side.

    10) Super-intelligent computers have no use for people. No use you'd want to be put to, anyway.

    11) Save yourself a lot of grief. And running. Just sleep next to the weird plant life and get on with it.

    12) Don't stand around gormlessly in your front garden wearing a dressing gown. Those guys are ALWAYS the first ones brought down by fast zombies.

    13) There are parallel universes, and your doppleganger in those universes is a jackass. Unless you're a jackass. In which case, he's probably a pretty nice guy. And you won't like him. Because you're a jackass.

    If aliens visit our planet, don't shoot first. This only angers them and makes them want to destroy us.

    Oh, and don't mess with Godzilla!

    Change your last name to Ripley because then you won't die, ever. Not even if an alien burst out your chest and you throw yourself into larva.

    Eggs are very bad for you.

    Don't trust large corporations.

    The new lieutenant will get you killed.

    You can't retreat and call for reinforcements and suitable weapons. No, you just gave to go into the deepest, darkest part of the facility where there also happens to be a xenomorph nest.

    If all else fails, use harsh language.

    25. Almost all problems can be solved immediately by reversing the polarity. Try that first and eliminate about 95% of tense situations

    26. Anything you have, the enemy will at some point steal. Put a lock on vital systems to stop them being used against you.

    27. Don't panic about the enemy's new super weapon. It's 100% certain to have an easily exploited weakness that everyone in the galaxy knows but you. Ask around and you'll work out how to shut it down with minimal effort.

    If you happen to be in charge of a future evil army of droids/clones/aliens don't give them precision laser guns.
    Give them all sawn off shotguns because that way they might actually hit what they shoot at.
