Default SE 4: Early game standoff tactic...

Hi folks,

I have a problem. I have an AI race that's squatting on a system I want and want to take it from him, with minimal losses. Since this is a no tactical combat game, using the Maximum Weapons Range, will Capital Ship Missle 3 (CSM-3) be sufficient to take out planetary defenses, probably small Satellites and sm. weapons platforms?

I'm thinking of sending 5 ships, two Frigates armed with level 5 Depleted Uranium Cannon (DUC-5) 3 each and 3 Destroyers armed with 4 CSM-3 each. I was going to send in the FF's as sacrificial lambs and let the DDs stand off and pound the satellites and planet with missles.

Opinion: will this work? If not, what do I need to bring to the table. I doubt this race has as much to build with as I do, I only see his homeworld and 2 tiny colonies.

thanks in advance!

Regards,
