I'd be interested to hear if anyone has ideas/suggestions for creating a ship component that allows planetary bombardment without invasion. For example, I don't actually want the enemy's PQ 4 planet - it's just not worth the troops to claim it or the time to rebuild its infrastructure.
What I would love to do it destroy the colony entirely. And ideally prevent anyone from every colonizing it again. I imagine this at some level would be as simple as eliminating the enemy colony and reducing the PQ to 0; but I have no idea how to couple this with a ship action.
Anyone have any suggestions as to how to include a ship that can "bombard" a colony from orbit and, over time, eliminate the populace, destroy infrastructure, and reduce planet quality - without the involvement of troops?
Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions.
