Default Troop Strategy for Fleets

So, strategy being so important in constructing fleets, could someone tell me if this seems a valid construct before I get all my ships blown up?

A. Carriers fitted with required fighter bays and the rest of the space with Mine Sweeper II or better in case he's got his planets mined. They sweep it when you show up and then stay out of the way. Their fighters have a strategy to attack any bases with weapons.

B. Well-shielded Attack Ships with a custom strategy (let's call it "Pre-emptive Bombardment) to stay at max weapons range and damage the planet only till the WP's are gone and then just hang out.

C. A troop ship with a customized "Capture Planet" strategy: Primary = Dont Get Hurt, Secondary = Capture Planet. In theory, it hangs out with the Carriers and is protected by their PD's. Then, when the WP's on the planet are gone the secondary strategy kicks in and it calmly tools over to the planet and smacks the pop. into submission.

Thoughts? Criticisms? Additions?

Thx,
