How in the heck do you do Blockades when you arent using Tactical Combat? I've tried assigning 'Dont Get Hurt' orders to a fleet and that doesnt work...they beeline for the planet and get greased by WPs.
I've tried making a new Strategy called 'Blockade' which has all movement set to 'Dont get hurt' and firing set to 'Dont attack Planets'. I also disabled all of the 'break formation' triggers. And still, my ship moves away for a turn and the flies directly into the planetary guns and gets fragged.
So....how in the heck do I keep my people orbiting a planet to blockade it without having them charge and die incessantly?
Any help would much appreciated before I toss my monitor out the window in frustration!
Thanx,
