Re: PDC Ships head for corners
pdc must have a small weapon to advance.
If they do not they will retreat. Always make sure you place a small 1 repeat weapon on a pdc ship.

Re: PDC Ships head for corners
Yes, PD ships need a weapon in order to draw them into the fight.
As to the planet capture, do a forum search. There has been lots of descussion about this in strategic combat. I just can't remember any of it right now!

Re: PDC Ships head for corners
The reason they head for the corners, is that they have nothing to shoot at. Remember, those missiles are still in the weapon platform missile bays. By putting some sort of direct fire weapon on the PDC ships, they now have something to shoot at-- a whole planet!

Re: PDC Ships head for corners
Based on what is said here:
1) Put a Direct Fire weapon, (here after refered to as: DFW) on the Aegis ship
1A) Make sure the range of the DFW does not exceed the range of the Point Defence Cannons
or that the strategy will bring the ship close enough to fire the PDC to reach the planet surface.
1B) Keep in mind that the planet may have other weapons. You may want to put shields on the transports.
2) Make sure the DFW has a fire rate of "1" so the Aegis ships do not withdraw when they can't fire
3) Make sure the strategy is not set to "Do Not Fire On Planets"
4) Make sure the strategy is set to "Damage The Target Untill All Weapons are Gone"
5) Make sure the shield / Armor can withstand 3 hits by Capital Ship Missles, (CSM)
Queston:
If the DFW is knocked out, will the Aegis ship run for the cornors?
Opinion:
Never Glass a Planet
When fighitng against AI,
It is too easy.
