Troops

[Baron Munchausen]

Geo, I want it to be harder to knock out the WPs with PLANETARY WEAPONS just like I want it to be harder to kill population with STANDARD weapons. Specialization, see? The current system is not sophisticated enough to allow both. It's one or the other.

With these suggested changes you would need a coordinated strategy to completely destroy a planet. If planetary weapons were then made large and expensive the incentive to use troops would increase. The typical 'raid' by a normally armed ship could then knock out units in planetary cargo and kill some pop but probably not wipe out an entire colony unless it was a new one.
