It's easy to pick off all the unarmed ships present at a major military base by just sending some ships 'around' the planet to the far corners of the combat grid to wipe them out.

Question from a newbie who is still running 1.67

How do you set your strategy to do this?

My ships do break formation but have the hots to pummel the planet...even when I set colony ships/carriers/transports as the first priority.

I'm speaking of tactical combat. I don't know if it can be done with strategies alone. If so, you'd have to make a special strategy to NOT fire on planets and set unarmed ships as first priority. Maybe setting 'Don't Get Hurt' as the secondary movement stategy would make the ships 'run away' from the planet when not in range of the targets? You'd have to experiment.
