farther in the one tech tree, can't remember name right now, you have torpedo's etc that target spaceyards, supply bases or other specific targets, problem is that they are so far up the tree that by the time you research them they are basically useless, maybe bring them down lower on the tree so they can be used earlier in the game??

Also defending planet/s troops should be given something like a static defense against assaulting ground troops. Assaulting troops should not always land 100% intact in a planet assault, there would always be some type of ground fire at the assault shuttles, at least in fairly advanced colonies, some casualties should be taken.

Ground assaults need to be looked at closer so their usage would be more beneficial then just glassing a planet, but at the same time not making it to easy to accomplish. Ground troops should have a fairly decent defensive value vs assaulting troops on their way down. Therefore, just because you have more numbers in assault, it wouldn't always be a given that you will take the planet, this could be tied in with the physcial strength of your race....

just some ideas mac
