Default Re: Invasion Inoculation

What I have found is that if the planet has weapons my transport will hide in the corner, until all my offensive ships are destroyed and then it will rush the planet, usually to disasterous results. So I don't see why a single transport with no weapons or escort wouldn't go stratight for the planet. But it would have to be really fast and really tough to survive, unless it's a small colony.

Two other thigs to remember if you try this tactic. 1. Mines, 2. Sattelites. If the planet has sattelites, even if you succed in capturing it the sats will then turn on it and fire. I have lost a lot of captured worlds this way.
