Default Planetary weapons problem.

So I built all these neat ships with Planetary Napalm and included them in my assault fleet. Problem was they stayed well out of combat. Milled around at the edge of the combat map, didn'treally head for the corners or anything. But they didn't close on the planet. The rest of my ships took a beating from the weapons platforms in the process.

I should point out this is playing a mod that increseas the Kt to kill one pop, so my standard ship weapons were less effective against the Wp's. I intended the planetary weapons to take out the Wp's and fix that problem so my troop transport could close in safely.

My napalm ships had a strategy of optimal range. They had no other waepons other than the napalm. I ran tests in the simulator with just the napalm ships and they do attack, but in a fleet with other ships they hang back.

Any ideas?
