I'm still totally new to this game, and I'm having trouble invading enemy planets (the Drengin.)
My fleets have wiped out all his orbital defenses, and are continuously hovering around the planets ready to pounce a single fighter as soon as it comes out of the shipyard (it's very cool that the AI realised his beam designs weren't working against my shields 8, and has switched to missile designs, that's awesome).

So now I've been sending in troop ships to try to conquer his planet. Except that I can only make a fleet of two troop ships, so at most I can have 2000 people with me, and he has 10.000 on his planet. So I get wiped out. Then I get to wait 11 more weeks for two more troops ships to build, by which time he's already rebreeded his 2000 or so warriors that he's lost. So I'm not getting anywere...

Any suggestions, hints, ideas? Help?

Thanks
