Oh, a tidbit that may interest folks: your ground troops *do* capture weapons platforms that were intact at the time of the assault, and said WPs probably don't defend during the assault, since they're not even shown in the ground combat anymore. Handy.

This raid, incidentally, was against my former allies the Ukra-Tal; I got annoyed when they were stockpiling DN-size warships (fleet of 15, plus 10 on the way) on one of my worlds while Murderous, while at war with another of my allies (the Phong), and when they were repeatedly lying through their teeth saying that orders had been given to withdraw them (yes, I *do* see your cloaked fleets... and my scanners say they're NOT non-combat vessels... and there's nobody in that area to attack BUT me).

Said fleets were removed from the universe with liberal application of APB XII, PPB V, and NSP V. An additional 14 warships were destroyed on another front, an Ukra-Tal world invaded... and they broke down and asked for a trade treaty (granted); they also made peace with the my ally Phong (*again*, hopefully it Lasts). Might have something to do with the fact that I revealed the presence of a high-tech armada that's got more (and far-better trained) ships than they have, total, and can reach any system from any system in one turn...
