Cool idea. I have always found it annoying that a tiny little escort with one measly early-game weapon like a DUC1 or APB1 can come in and destroy a colony. Another idea if you didn't want to completely prohibit normal ship weapons from attacking planets would be to adjust the number of damage points required to kill a given number of population - I remember seeing that adjustment in one of the data files, maybe settings.txt?
