I have to agree, now that I've grown yet more familiar with the GC2 system, that there is little more than tweaking necessary. Though bombardment would be nice, it's definitely not necessary. If your opponent doesn't have ships to defend themselves, then you just need to change all your ship construction to transports and take your time to make sure that you have a sufficient fleet of troops to make a successful takeover.
