After that first battle the planet will be blockaded.

This has worked for me in PBW.
I am playing my first simultaneous game in SP mode to leard the quirks, to see if I might be interested in PBW. I am trying to set up a surrender with one of the AIs. I have been able to blockade one of his planets, but it also has WPs on the surface. these will have have to be destroyed before I can make the demand. i have tried numerous things, and all have proved difficult to implement, and a majority of the time the planet gets glassed. I am thinking the "easiest" way is going to be to design a specific ship only for blockading, and a specific ship for planet capture/defense destruction.

I know some of the players here love it, but personally, I can't stand simultaneous games. Not yet anyway. I really miss the tactical combat. IMO, that is half the fun of the game. However, that rant is for another thread.
