Capture Planet |
Hi guys. Is it possible for Fighters and non Troop carrying ships to support a Capture Planet Attack? I tried a Capture Planet combat with 1 TF under Capture Planet and 2 TF with Capture Planet and Optimal Range. In both cases only the Troop carrying ships move toward planet.

Re: Capture Planet
Thanks for the info battlespud. I took off the fighter bays on my Frigates and loaded ships with Troops and Fighters. Gave their TF orders to Capture Planet and it worked. Too bad about fighters and ships not supporting a Capture Planet though. Maybe it was in SEIV that fleets with orders to Capture Planet held back their Troop ships until planet defensive were down. Now with this info my planet defense from capture is obsolete. Works both way though.

Re: Capture Planet
This game has been around for maybe 2 years and I could swear I have had supported troop landings, but now I come to test and preapre for an attack I find my troop transport will not hold back and then drop troops once the planet defences are dealt with. Either it moves in with the capital ships and risks damage, or it retreats straight away and does nothing while the enemy population is destroyed.
Re: Capture Planet
no, but if u have fighters on the transports then they will be deployed with the troops to the planet.
