Very good point. Although with the regular missles being fired at the same time as the Neutron missles, the regulars should get cut down, while the Neutrons get through. If not, then I guess a new tactic is needed, cuz IME if the Ground defences have that many PDC's, then they also have a substantial amount of regular weapons which can be a detriment to any attacking fleet. This will also change a bit under gold, with the range and accuracy enhancements given to WP Mounts. This could make it more difficult for ships to get in range of planet to even attack and do it al little bit of damange.

Regards,

As far as i know planetary napalm lvl.5 at heavy mount wipes out WPs quite nice. Its my weapon of choice when laying siege on a homeworld protected by lots of WPs. I used to research it early in the game before, helpful...

Very true but as with any weapon you risk damaging facilities on the planet which may be worth keeping. I wonder if there is some way to create a weapon that would only detroy the units on the planets (such as the weapon platforms)...

If you play tactical, its not a problem. Bomb them with planetary napalms, soften up with neutron bombs and then take over them.

Seriously, even though i dont create mods (for now) i sometimes think over some ideas and sometimes suggest them to different places. Thought in this idea too.
