Make the formations and strategies a bit more sophisticated. For example, I would normally set all ships to break formation - but I can't do this with a fleet that I want to capture a planet.
Yes you can. Make sure both the fleet and the troop transports have Capture Planet strategies. They can break formation as much as you like.

Or perhaps an assault ship would hold back on unloading its entire complement of napalm bombs if the fleet is supposed to be capturing the planet, not wiping it.
If you are using the correct strategies, ships stop firing on planets as soon as the weapon platforms are destroyed. With low population, it is possible for the Last shot to do enough extra damage to glass the planet as well as destroy the Last WP.
