Planets, Capturing, Drones Oh my

[Skulky]

This is rather a grouping of a bunch of my questions i've gathered in the month long absence from these Boards:

1. Anyone have good suggestions on how to capture planets? And if so is it anymore efficient to capture them instead of glassing, say against a 150+ planet strong empire would it be worth it to try and capture them all?

2. When playing against a TDM race that has been fully blockaded by my ships and has a score of 13.0K to my 1.1M they still won't surrender or give me anything. What's up wiht that?

3. After reading The Shiva Option (great book) how could you design SRHAWK's, SBMHAWK's and RD2's? could you use drones? and how would you do warp point assaults without succumbing to the minefields? Last thought is how would you replicate gunboats? I really want to make a mod for this universe, posibly a scenario too its such a sick book no doubt.

4. What's the dealio with organic armor on non-ships, does it still work?

5. Relating to 1, how many people does each little militia dude in the combat display represent?

Well, thanks for all your help, i bet someone will answer this before i even post... haha. But yeah i might get some more Q's i finally got into gold and it rocks.
