best ship components against planets / WP's

[FadingSuns]

I recommend the Transport tactic. Just outfit a large transport with tons of shields and armor so it can draw the WP fire away from your nimble craft that is carring a few planetary napalm bombs. When you get close enough to the planet, release enough bombs to take out the WP. Then invade with troops and gobble up all the goodies. WPs get taken out first before facilities and population, which is helpful if you want to capture a planet with existing industry. And if you loose the decoy transport, what have you really lost?
