Troops and capturing plannets.

Yes. Death of the leader breaks the fleet up in combat. The fleet will be intact (assuming some ships survive) after combat, with a new leader. But during combat, they will no longer be a "fleet" except for purposes of fleet experience bonus.

Thanks for the info. I haven't been setting the strategy correctly on my troop transports. Sometimes they would take over a planet, and sometimes, they would fire on the planet and wipe it out, especially when there wasn't much population on it.

How would someone get the AI to build more troop transports and troops?

I am certain it is a simple process.

what kind of ship design is best for takeing out weapon platforms?
I tryed using seeker designs, but althouh my seekers are currenly at 16 and his max range is at 12 or so. my seeker ships keep getting to close to the plannet, even though they are at max range, dont get hurt...

[Fyron]

I believe that max range is hard coded as range 8... or was it 10? Something like that. Try optimal instead. I think it might actually act as a max range strategy better than max range.

[se5a]

that sounds prety strange...
ill try it.

didnt seem to make any diference. they sit at range 10...

One way to spare your ships is to use only carriers. They have strategy "don't get hurt" and fighters do the job.
