Sometimes You just want to lay waste to a system rather than capturing it.

How about an option for a fleet in an enemy system to bombard the system rather than attempt to capture it ? it will kill off a number of population units per term depending on MP of the fleet and total Defense of the System.

Probably MP/Def = PU killed per term. The location of casualties are random.

I always wanted that too. Another good touch would be to leave the planet with either a Negative Anomaly (Irradiated) or to leave it "Depleted".

+1.

Sometimes, I'd rather not take over a useless planet but I'd rather blow it up.

It was one of the G2G votes but it lost. I hope they still go through with the idea. Planet razing would be awesome.

Same. I had a to capture 4 useless Sophon systems before i get their homesystem. Razing would be a nice addition (along with proper ground combat

)

Infantry win firefights. Tanks win battles. Artillery win wars.

It may have lost the G2G vote, but its still going to be in game, after some time of course.

And its not destroying the planets, but more destroying the colony's on them.

And here comes Extarminatus.

There are different variants for this:

1) Only destroy population

2) +Leave planets with negative anomalies

3) +Tore every planet to asteroids

4) Or wipe the whole system away, leaving only the sun.

The Ordo Malleus approves. The Asteroid one would be hilarious in a six-planet system.
