3) If playing in strategic combat, your ships will not unload troops until all weapon platforms have been destroyed, if any weapon is still available in the whole fleet. So if you want to make a suicide run to unload troops, you will have to either wait for the platforms to destroy your warships, or to remove all armed vessels from the battle.

A timed strategy is best for this. It's best to capture a planet with its Weapons Platforms intact. The fleet with a strategy to remove only satellites gets there one movement ahead of the Troop Ship. The planet is now
Blockaded. The Troop Ship has
no weapons, just heavy shielding and PD Cannons to knock out/absorb the first volley of missiles. Assuming the planet doesn't have a huge array of WP's with beam-weapons, your ship should land troops with a minimum amount of damage, your new planet is defensible, and if you're lucky there's a Space Yard there to repair any damage.
