Newbie question on fighters and capturing planets

[jimbob]

So what if you change the strategy of your ships to "ignore planets" but still allow them to attack Weapons Platforms?

1) Will they kill everything in site, but leave the planet alone?
2) Will your ships kill everything except the planet but then just sit there and get pounded by the weapon platforms (assuming WP are present)?
3) if you tell ships to ignore planets, but set "damage planet" to say 50%, what will happen? (i'm guessing but I'm not sure, that the ships will attack the planet until 50% of the weapon platforms are gone, and then stop)

PBW & rules pertaining to strategies confuse me.

I don't think Weapons Platforms are available as a separate targeting option in Strategies. I think a planet with WPs counts as "Has Weapons".
