On "not exactly conventional weaponry", you could be creating some storms over the planet, especially the "Penalty to hit" storms and "Lowered Shield Generation". Enough storms lowering the odds to hit could render PDC irrelevent, allowing you to strike at the planet with your missile boats. These ships would need the speed to escape the missiles launched by the planet however, but that might make for a nice softening blow. If you would rather launch a second wave with conventional weaponry, removing the storms should not be so difficult.

Given a typical planet's HUGE defense penalty, that may not be nessesary.
As long as you don't go nuts on the storms, you should still be able to hit the planet without too much trouble.

Check settings.txt for your local values of the planet defense and offence modifiers.
