Ship Strategy & Fleet Strategy in strategic combat-how does it work?

[capnq]

I just successfully took a lightly defended world in a PBW game. Strategy was Capture Planet; Primary Movement - Capture Planet, Secondary Movement - Point Blank, Firing set to Use Type Priorities Before Targeting Priorities, with Planets first in the list; Damage Until All Weapons Gone; all Ships Break Formation. The Attack Ships ignored the planet after the Weapons Platforms were gone, but the planet only had two facilities left intact after I captured it.

This was in actual combat rather than the simulator.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
