Engine Destroying Weapons damaged planet-based items? Did they destroy engines on fighters, or just do generic damage to units on the planet (or the colony itself)? And were the units actually destroyed, or was damage displayed on screen but not applied (I think I've seen this against ships as well: after the engines are destroyed, the engine destroying weapons can still target & hit the ship, and damage will be displayed, but ISTR that without engines the damage isn't actually applied to a component).
