A few planetary questions

[Rex_the_Hex]

I have a few questions dealing with planets.

1) Is there a why to see what facilites are on a planet owned by an ally. I would really like to know which of my allies planets have resuply depots.

2) Is there a why to see what facilites are on a planet owned by an enemy. This would be nice for prioritizing which enemy planets to attack first.

3) Is there a way to set up your strategies to capture a planet in strategic combat that involves a lot of ships on both sides? I know about having troops and setting those ships to capture the planet, and I have been successful in capturing planets that have few to no ships defending. But, when I attacked this players home world, I totally blew away all the ship and the planet before it ever got to the ground combat screen. True, I could have run a tactical battle blew away just the defenses and then moved in the troopers, but I did not feel like sitting through 1/2 to an hour of moving my ships around and watching the computer move his.

Thanks
