Default Re: Troops/capturing intact planets

problem with missiles: they fire at weapons platforms. them more missiles fire at the WPs. then the first volley hits, and destroys the WPs. the WPs are dead, so no more are fired. Now the second volley, fired before the first volley impacted, hits the planet and destroys the colony.

direct fire weapons will still shoot at weapons platforms, and in so doing will damage the colony. if its only a small colony, it may be destroyed in the process of eliminating the WPs.

heres the deal on planet capturing fleets: transports will charge in, against fire, if they are alone. if with ships, they will wait for the other ships to finish firing at WPs before charging in. other ships will be 'finished' when they (the ships) are all destroyed or dissabled, or when they (the WPs) are all destroyed.
