WPs Damaged Last in V1.08??

[tmcc]

Playing a game of V1.08 I am attacking an enemy Homeworld that has many facilities and one Weapon Platform. As I continually pound this planet with missiles the population declines and all the facilities take damage, most are at least 50% damaged, but the lone WP takes no damage at all. This is pretty much the opposite of how it worked in SEIV where all units were destroyed before any facilities. Is this intentional? This changes later game strategy where I used large WPs with lots of shields to protect my planets. It is also impossible to bring in troops without the transport getting badly shot up.

I think a nice change would be to allow specific targeting of facilities, fighters, troops, WPs, etc. during planetary attacks.
