Drop troops on it. I just did a test and dropping troops on a unpopulated enemy planet takes the planet and makes it your own. Just make sure you bring population of your own to put on it.

I can't get it to work in simultaneous games. The fleet won't attack and the troop ship won't drop troops. The orders stay in the order queue and the same will happen on following turns. Did you try this in turn based or simultaneous?

Ooo, didn't even think about doing it in Simultaneous. It was turn bases that I managed to do it. I'll test it in simultaneous later today.

Well, Rags, you gonna tell me what happened or you gonna keep me in suspense. You're killing me here. I sure would like to find a trick for doing this in simultaneous games.

Then again, it might not be possible...

You can't capture a planet with no pop in simultaneous turns. This is a bug we reported to Malfador a while back but the fix didn't make it in the Last patch.

I was going to say that.

No, I just got busy Last night and wasn't able to run the tests. But good thing I didn't cause it would've been waste of my time.

Thanks for the effort. I was thinking that I was missing something obvious.

If you build facilities i e mineral mines, research centers and then depopulate the planet. Will it still produce resources?

If so, that would be a BIG bug!!

No, it does not.

However, you only need "1" population for it to produce. For small planets and moons, relocate your population to larger planets to obtain bonuses that are not possible on the smaller planets...Greybeard
