Hot to invade a planet, HELP!

[Drake]

For strategic combat, what I've done is put my transport in a fleet with combat ships. If you pick 'Capture Planet' as an option, the combat ships will attack until the planet is defenseless, then the transport will swoop in and drop troops.

There might be a way to get the transport to drop troops before the weapons platforms are cleared, but I haven't tinkered much with the strategic settings.
