They may always hit the planet, but it should be difficult to hit something in particular such as a Weapon Platform or a Troop which would be smaller than a Light Cruiser. Hitting population on a domed world should be easier than an undomed world. You also have to allow for possible refraction throwing off the accruacy beam weapons as they pass through different layers of an atmosphere. Gas Giants should get a defense modifier bigger than the other types. No atmostphere planets would get the least modifier.
