Re: Troops are useless
It seems that the "best" answer would lie with Aaron here...
Ground troops should be a requirement to conquer a planet - a fighter-only force should be restricted to inflicting casualties and/or destroying facilities.
It would also be nice to have the option of using a fleet's main arnament in an orbital fire support role - increasing attacker firepower at the cost of greater planetary destruction (happiness, facilities, etc) and blue-on-blue casualties (which could be reduced with Advanced Military Science research).
