Not impossible, just difficult. I made all planetary weapons (bombs) skip shields. I could tone it down more but I hate the AI just coming in and glassing planet with no attempt at conquest.

"One other thing I found it the "damage to kill one pop" in settings. You had it set to 1000. all That does is make all weapons do minimum 1000 damage."

What do you mean?

damage to kill 1 pop= 100

escort, 1 depleeted uranium cannon= 100 damage against unshielded planet. Oddly enough the anti-planet drone warheads seem to work correctly.

I find that supplies are very important in Proportions. A ship with ion engines mark I and no extra supply storage only has a one-way range of 19 sectors! In 1.5 the situation is even more interesting, with some of the suggestions from Dogscoff and others worked in, so that there are two grades of all marks of engines with different output and efficiency - with capital ships you have to trade off range against speed, and the difference in speed between small and large ships is greater.

Oh it works great at higher tech but low tech-low thrust engines give at least one move supplied or not.
