OK I know TA is being made and it might be too late for me to ask for this to be attempted but I think I would try anyway.
This is my idea, ships bombarding a planet, like maybe make a weapon that doesn't do anything in a space battle (or maybe it can) but when a ship with this is in orbit or next to the planet with this weapon and you invade you can have a bombard option. I was thinking that it would have some levels of research that allow it to take out more defenders but it would also take out some structures and maybe tile bonuses to weigh it a little bit more, but what do you think, could this be done in TA? Either with the final game or in a later patch?
