Looking for a doomsday weapon vs. planets? I direct you to the Null Space Cannon, which will skip shields and units and start damaging the planet immediately. It might not be as 'precise' as the Smartbombs but it's pretty efficient since a planet seems to be treated like a 'ship' for damage allocation purposes. The units are the 'armor' and the population/facilities are the internal components.

As far as I have seen it null space weapons will not skip weapon platforms and they will not even skip armor and shields on weapon platforms, because units don't have armor and shields for SE IV combat calculation: armor and shield points are just added to the total damage resistence of the unit and only if more damage than the total damage resistence of one unit is done the unit will be destroyed.
