Hmm, some good ideas here (eg including planet bomardment in the outcome) but previous threads on this have tended to ask for more radical improvements along the lines of making ground combat more like space tactical combat. Although this would require more work, it would provide more reason to work on troop designs (for the moment there seems little point in having longer-ranged troop weapons since range does not seem to be an issue with the current system).

However the more people that email MM and comment on this forum on ground combat, the more likely they will take it up for their next patch (please???)
