How does one go about ground combat?

[Darwin]

You will need to research Troops, To get it you need to research Construction. You will also need Smaller Weapons.

Once you get your research. Design your troops. And design a Transport. Make it a Troop transport and just load it with cargo bays like you were making a population transport.

Construct all this. Load the troops aboard the ship. Take the Ship to the planet you want to concur and attack. If you go stategic it *should* drop troops on its own. You will probably wish to bring along some other ships through if you fear that satilites or Weaponplatforms will be there. If you do this it will probably be advenatious to use tatical combat. Bring the attack ships in and destroy the defenses. keep an eye on the population you don't want to kill all those new slaves. Then bring in your trooptransport to right next to the planet and click orders and drop troops.

Hope this helps.
