Default Ships wont attach planets

I have so many strange things going on in my current SEIV Gold game that I think I might need to re-install. I am wondering if anyone might know if I am just being stoopid.
First, My ships will not attack planets! I have brought in many different designs, they will fight other ships but they just cower towards the corner or wiggle and jiggle in one spot when it comes time to attack the planet! The strategy is ummmm,, Optimum firing range, but I have tried others..
Second, Even though I am producing INTEL points my counterintel meter never moves! I am getting reamed by intel attacks but I can't seam to protect myself at all!!! strange stuff.. What do you think?

First. there is a setting as to what a ship will or will not attack, and if this is set to not attack planets, then they won't. Check under Strategy and Tactics.
Second. If the enemy is constantly attacking you with Intel, then you are most likely using your available counter-intel to fend off maybe the first or even second intel attack, then all the others come through successfully. You might also want to check that you do not have the "divide points evenly" checked so that all your intel points go into your counter-intel. Lastly, make sure that your counter-intel project is the first project.

When I'm getting hammered by intelligence projects, I stop all offensive spending, fill up on Counter-Intel projects, and select divide points evenly. That usually cuts down the attacks until I can get more intel facilities built.

Post your sav.game file. This I would love to check out.

Have you selected COUNTER INTEL? If so stager it, and do not spread the Intel points out. Again, post your save.game file.
