Heh. Fine; then give the Judiciary a different tech tree. ;-)

If the 'dont fire on planets' function is not up to par for keeping fleets from gunning for planets, then i guess you better make sure that your landing party succeeds. The attack method I was thinking of was to send in a blocade fleet to take out any orbital defense, and send the troop lander in a turn, or a few moves later on seperate orders.

check out SJs glorious scenario ideas thread (regarding the chess game). it contains the ideas that inspired Geo's recent scenario as well as this. basically the facilities are build as modded facilities that are not space yards, and when the unmodded Version of the game is loaded, they revert back to spaceyards. you can never build more, but you get the boosted production rate untill they are destroyed.

DogScoff is right, you want people to be able to break the rules. there has to be the opportunity for someone to say "F-this, im glassing that bastard and to hell with the Judicar too!" and likewise, I want it to be very hard to take a built-up planet so that alliances will be encouraged and a bit of role-play might transpire. This might encourage people to make landing ships out of DNs or BaseShips with lots of shields/armor instead of just a transport. blocades would be more prevalant and longer Lasting.

What about plagues?

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.
