How does one win Ground Combat? |
I dumped a bunch of tanks onto an enemy planet. Ground combat started. I blasted a weapons platform and a civilian building. I think there may have been a single enemy unit (can't remember). I see a satalite which I can not attack for some reason.
I don't see any more enemy units. Just structures.
Do certain structures have to be destroyed to conquer a planet?
What conditions must be met to conquer a planet.
Running SE V through steam and I did get the update.
The most likely reason you
The most likely reason you can't target the satellite is that you only have Ground Cannon weapons on your troops. These can't target satellites.
Fighters
Send in Fighters with the ground troops. They can shoot satellites and they generally kick butt at ground combat, much more so than troops.
Also Troops can be armed with Small Depleted Uranium Cannon which do have Satellite as a valid target, since they are a primary Fighter weapon.
If this doesn't work then it is definitely a bug.
The sat is the problem
Right now a satellite on the ground will prevent conquest because it counts as a "defending unit", and none of your units can shoot it.
About the only thing you can do is ram it.
