This level isn't too hard, but making it above 100 is still a bit challenging.
The sources of the problem is that there are lot of cloaked smelters, and there aren't any ammo for the gauss cannon other than the one you pick up near at the beginning.
Also the only energy weapon available is the phoenix cannon and omega. You don't have any other choice, so you must play with fire literally, and burning yourself is quite easy...
I didn't bother picking up everything, it would activate the matcens and getting out there would be problematic.
There are 2 earthshakers on this level and there are no hostages.
