What would happen if...

DirkH, My email is kaput at the moment but the strategy is nothing special. Just go in, create new strategy, under the firing options set it not to fire on planets, weaponless ships, colony ships, bases with no weapons. Set the priorities to satellites, and mines first, then bases and ships, fighters, etc. Just set the order you like and you can always play with it to fine tune.

What this does is make your ships take on and deal with the real threats first and not go chasing off after things with no weapons on them. I've found it to be pretty effective as long as there is no real defending fleet in orbit. I assume a lot of folks are using this (or a similar) strategy.

Puke, the second one. It just cleans everything from around the planet but doesn't touch the planet itself. I don't know any way you can target just the WPs on a planet. So, I just clean the skies, send down a ton of troops and let God sort them all out.
