firing order during combat

Perhaps Max Range for your strag.

And balance your fleet out more with some planet killers ( it's cheating against the ai to just use missles ( this is due to the fact you can play on auto-pilot then)) loaded up with planetary napalm or something. Have them close on the planet and the rest attack everything else.

ya i'm thinking the reason my ships became so preoccupied in this case was that i was taking out someone's homeworld that had a lot of population on it. Had it been a lesser world it probably would've rolled over it faster or not been so interested in it.
