Re: planet capturing
With the latest patch, the ships seem to do what's correct, you don't even have to give the fleet the "Capture planets" order ...
1). attack ships close to planet, transports run to corners
2). attack ships fire until all weapon platforms on the planet are dead. Then they mill around, or attack other targets. At that point, transports close and drop troops. Dropped troops must now tangle with troops on planets, they are not destroyed by attack ships.
Now, I did lose a full transport to the TDM-Modpack Norack recently. The ships cleared the planet's weapon platforms, but didn't destroy all of the missile carrying space stations in time, which specifically targeted the incoming transport.
Ah well, those are the late-game breaks.
