I think the conquest of a planet should be more like Civ stage conquest.

You place a city on the desired planet and start a military, economic, or religious conquest using your colony vehicles with your space ship as support. Only the colony vehicles should be able to fill a capture bar.

This idea should make early planetary conquests easier though it may be more of a hassle later in the game.

I think vehicles should play a part in planetary warfare. Might makes dealings with the grox more fun!

This is a good idea. Especially because I like playing a religious game (even thought I'm Agnostic xD)...In space, you can't convert systems. Only trade or burn them...

Hmm, an agnostic zealot.

"You do not believe that a god may or may not exist so we may or may not destroy your planet"

I found that conquest became very easy after a certain tactic with shield.

1. Fly to planet, start bombing a city.
2. Wait for enemy ships to fly to you
3. Activate shield.
4. Float there invincible while they make themselves easy targets for destruction.
5. from high up, bomb away cities in peace.

Indeed. The current "warefare" system is a joke, there is not even the slightest entertainment value in it.

Bring on ground wars I say... maybe they should elt you DESTROY cities from orbit, but capturing should require ground deployment.
