Fleet strategy vs. Ship strategy.

Combat is more successful when ships can break fleet orders. Especially when the fleet leader is stopped dead.

Make sure the ship carrying the troops is set to the capture planet strategy. It might help you to set all of your transports to capture planets, just in case you use one for troops.

Be carefull with the quantity of seeker weapons you bring along. Generally, a full volley of seekers will be fired against a target. A low population planet can be glassed by the overkill.
