Planetary bombardment(genocide)

[LintMan]

I also prefer to capture an enemy world rather than destroy it. But the AI doesn't...

Has anyone ever been invaded with troops by the AI?

I had thought it would be a fairly simple code change to adjust some weapons to do less damage to population, but I guess that if it was made harder to destroy a planet with direct fire weapons, the AI would have to be tweaked to know that and use alternate methods.
