Invading Planets in PBW/simultaneous turns |

Space Empires V General
In a single player game I often attack a planet, wipe out the defenders. While this battle is going, I try and land a couple of troop transports. However, when forced to use strategic battles I don't have this level of control.
While I can change the strategy of the transport to send down the troops automatically, I need to stop bombardment of a planet after the WP are destroyed.
Theres a recent post on weapon platforms that mentions this is possible in a recent patch? Which patch is this? How exactly does this work?
Best,
Darren
Re: Invading Planets in PBW/simultaneous turns
If you set your fleet strategy to capture planet, and have troop transports in the fleet (also with capture planet strategy), the ships will stop firing on the planet after the WPs are destroyed and wait for the troop transports to drop troops.
If all troops are lost, and there is no way to actually capture the planet, the fleet will tend to resume firing. You might be able to eliminate that effect by telling all of your strategies in use to not fire on unarmed planets, though.
