Default Re: Maximum range vs. planets

I've found that the range strategies don't seem to apply to enemy PLANETs, only to enemy ships.

My example: a powerful fleet easily capable of defeating all enemy in the sector including their homeworld. I wanted to SAVE the homeworld so I could use the population, so in the strategies window I activated "Don't fire on Planets".

Even though the strategy was set to "Max weapons range" and "Don't get hurt", they would bLast apart the enemy ships and then just sit there in range of the enemy planet getting pounded by missles until turn 30 (having killed all valid targets).

And when I DO turn on Planets as a valid target, they rush right up to it and fire away until it is dead.

Anyone want to do some more testing? Is this a verified bug?
