Bear in mind weapons on a troop transport will not fire, even when in range. Unless you change the strategy, and then they won't drop troops. Point defense is ok though I believe. Will help if the planet is shooting missles at you.

Re: Want strategies for seiging a planet
Thanks Geo-
You're right. Nix on the weapons. I don't use anything but PD.

Re: Want strategies for seiging a planet
How about some unconventional warfare ....
.... like "Puppet Political Parties"? Sure it's expensive, but, it's just as likely to succeed against a heavily populated planet as it is against a new colony.

Re: Want strategies for seiging a planet
I build "planet destroyers". These are DN's with a lot of armor and shields and 4 to 5 planetary napalm on them. I set their tactic to point blank.
I keep several of these in every fleet and they serve as primary assault ships. You might want to bring several space yard ships along to built some along the way since these ships tend to have a short lifespan

Stealth and scattering armor provide a 15% bonus each. Using them both means you are 30% less likely to be hit.

No; Shield Depleters can make short work of shields.
