Do Weapons Platform Need Help?

Maybe the problem isn't so much the weapons platforms as it is the bonus to hit planets. Why should ships hit every time against a planet? Yes of course it would be hard to miss something that big, but not every hit would do damage. Planetary facilities and platforms can be hardened much more so then ships can. A shot at a ship that misses it's target by thirty meters but still hits the ship is still gonna do a lot of damage. A shot by the same weapon against a planet that misses it's target by thrity meters might as well have missed the planet for all the damage it's gonna do to the target. Since we can't have variable damage, maybe we need to lower the chance to hit a planet to simulate these kinds of hits that don't really cause any harm.
