Sats and mines in cargo will not launch and have no effect on ground combat. They will be captured if the attacked is succesful in taking the planet. Weapons platforms will shoot at the ships. They normally are glassed before the troops are dropped. However, if there are any left when the troops drop they have no effect on group combat. The only things that effect ground combat for the defenders are the troops in cargo and the militia which is ratio of the population.

Once a planet is captured, if there are remaining weapon platforms they will target enemy ships, space stations, satelites, fighters, and colonized moons.

Alright, so it doesn't happen often in startegic combat. But people have sent troop ships in, and on they next turn found everything gone. Its not a bug, there will be a list of combats where everything picked everything else apart.
