Just increase this number to a hugh amount in your settings.txt and do the same for your planetary weapons. That will mostly solve the problem but your "nuclear" capital ship missiles will will hardly kill anyone.

No, that falls onto one horn of precisely the dilemma we are trying to avoid. Planetary weapons will then be able to smash WPs to dust.

We need to be able to damage WPs in a reasonable way with standard weapons without being able to wipe out the population, and able to damage population with planetary weapons without being able to effortlessly annihilate WPs. We cannot 'balance' the system with the available options. Either standard ship weapons are too powerful against planets or 'planetary' weapons are too powerful against planets. The problem is just that.
