Re: Avoiding "glassing" a planet
In my Last game (vs. AI, as my availible time is very sporadic), I had a strategy that resulted in no glassed planets in capture attempts, and I'm pretty sure glassing could only happen in a situation such as a planet with one WP and something very close to 1M population.
I had two strategies, with the only difference being in the Primary Strategy; one was Optimal Range, the other Maximum. In the Firing Strategy, I said use Type before Targeting priority, with planets selected as "Don't Fire On", and listed Last in the priority list. The rest was default.
The "Fire Until Weapons Gone" strategy will override the "Don't Fire on Planets" strategy while it has weapon platforms. As soon as the attack ships destroy the Last platform, they stop firing, and the transport zooms in to drop its troops. Breaking formation are the transport and the other support ships (for my main capture fleet; I had several other makeshift ones made from enemy carriers).
