Ship Strategy & Fleet Strategy in strategic combat-how does it work?

[Rusty_Nail]

This has bothered me too. What we need is an option under f�ring to "fire on planets(with weapons)". As it is now, you either fire at planets or not, regardless of weapons. This should be a simple fix for MM. If the analysis of this thread is correct, then how do the AI's ever capture planets? Has anyone ever seen an AI actually capture one with population still alive? I haven't. It might only work if the AI sent in a troop ship without escort and got lucky. I understand from another thread that they often do just that.
