As I remember from separate discussion, planets (weapon platforms at least) do not have separate shields, all shield and armour points go directly to the structure. Because of this, organic and crystall armour and shield regenerators do not work, but as a benefit, null-space and pnase-polaron beams lose shield-piercing.
Sort of... Platform shields become planetary internals, but planetary shields remain shields.
You can make the planetary shields phased, but null space will always skip them.
Platforms and defending troops/militia will get damaged by null space, and then troops can be dropped to capture the planet.
The platforms might not be replaced by the AI, and facilities can still be destroyed.
Is it possible to make a level 5 planetary/sector cloak part of a facility? If not, put it on thier bases, so that players can only destroy monster infrastructure with a nova bomb (sun buster)
