Default Re: Newbie question on fighters and capturing planets

If you have a troop transport with the fleet and your fleet strategy is set to capture planet, then your fighters should cease firing on the planet as soon as the weapons platforms are gone. All fighter weapons and all planetary waepons in the unmodded game are direct fire weapons.

Missles and anything listed as a seeker weapon are things wqhich will give you a risk of accidental glassing. Fighters are refered to as seekers sometimes because they can be targetted by PDC, but they aren't really any more than sats are which can also be targeted by PDC.
