Re: Strategies
Beware of using missile weapons while trying to capture a planet. The ships will often launch more missiles than are needed to destroy the weapons platforms, and the overkill may end up glassing the planet.

Re: Strategies
Thanks to all for the advice so far, the AI is starting to look concerned (It even offered me a trade treaty!) next question is there any way to set the range at which weapons will fire? My ionic dispersers insist on opening fire well outside any reasonable chance to hit!

Re: Strategies
You can chose general Strategies either "Optimal Range" or "Point Blank" as a template, and then edit them from there.
