Couldn't agree more! And don't forget the troop transports: Once you have fleets with different ships, it would possible for the AI to successfully capture planets. The strategic combat works perfectely now for the order "capture planet" combined with the order to fire on target till all weapons are gone.
---------------------------------------------
Switched players to see how a few AI's were doing a few games ago and saw a fleet that included Light cruisers and a troop transport ship with 120 troops, they were currently going after another AI planet with this fleet. Didn't think much of it at the time ( sleepy, so sleepy, but must play one more turn! ), so I never played on to see if it was actually captured. Does the AI include these ships and never use the troops or was this a 'first sighting' of an AI using troops? I have started a new game and don't know if I still have the savegame.
