There is a line in DefaultStrategies.txt that says what priorities to use - 'Use Type Priority First'. If this line is set to false, then the ship will use the Has weapons, most damaged, nearest etc. priorities instead. That means if the planet is nearest and has weapons on it, it will be targeted. However, if there is a ship or a base on the same distance, ship will target them instead of planet.

If 'Use Type Priority First' is True, you will force the ship to use type priorities and will go after ships (by default) first and look which ship has weapons, is most damaged etc. first. When there are no more ships it will go down the list in the order specified in the file (Bases, Fighters, etc.). This type of attack is more suitable for Kamikaze ships and Fighters then normal attack ships.
