Basically, i do not see a need then for a heavily armoured TT except if all other ships are eliminated.

Anyway, thanks for the fast answer.

Don't discount the heavily armed TT. They do have their uses, if you use them properly. You could make a small fleet of them and they will attack the planet. If successful, you now have taken the planet with most/all of its defenses still in place and now under your control. No need to build WP's.

One HUGE caution on this: Be sure you take out enemy sats, bases, and moons BEFORE if you do this. If you don't, as soon as you take control of the planet (you don't take control of orbiting sats & bases), they will all fire on the planet, most likely glassing it.

Slick.
