Setting it to "Capture Planet" didn't work.

Capture planet actually consists of 2 movement strategies: Drop troops and Optimal Weapons Range. It also allows firing on Planets.

Since my fleet has no troop transports, all my ships fall back to the secondary strategy of blowing everything in sight to kingdom come.


The closest I've come is to NOT allow it to fire on planets, and with a movement strategy of Optimal Weapons Range and Don't Get Hurt. They come in and wipe out everything with weapons (except the planet), and then just sit around the planet for the Last 20 turns or so, getting fired on by the weapons platforms on the planets. The ships do use their point defense, and I seem to only be losing a ship or two to the missles.

Not as precise as what I can do with Tactical combat, but it may be the closest I can come.
