I used to use them all the time but with games now...fleets are greater than 50 so i get a nice group of ships together and the whole bottom of the combat screen is filled up with ships equally spaced apart. Not very good for capturing planets... As the planet is destroyed before you capture ships can get to it.

Real Pain...

I think this is one area that needs to be cleaned up...
The planet wont be destroyed if your strategy is set up correctly. What does happen from time to time with large fleets is the transport is blocked from reaching the planet and can't get to it to drop troops. Usually though the next run it gets through.

I've seen 4 battles happen in a row before the transport was placed in a spot where it couldn't get to the planet. All the WPs were destroyed in the first combat.
