Erm, the planetary shield does work outside of space battles. I suppose you could mean the deflector shields that missile bases use, but it says that the missile base uses a cumulative of deflector and planetary shield.
Although I suppose the race I did bomb with my thousands of lil ship didnt have a planetary shield as of yet, and im not too sure I actually attacked the colony with my ships after it had no bases to check the damage (in space battle that is).
I quite like my swarms of lil ships, but it is sooo much fun having an absolutley huge ship, created 3 huge ships and was decimating all others while humming the star wars imperial march them sub-conciously, with an escort guard of 1000 lil ships to take care of other swarms.
Missiles are ok, but beams are more reliable, you have to retreat and come back into a battle after using your missiles, beams can deal with enemies straight on, also missiles suck against swarms, one missile kills one ship, woohoo 200 missile ships do 4000 damage, yet only kill 200(max) of the swarm of thousand ships coming at them, also missiles arent very good against small ships, auto-blasters are reliable, and stream weapons.
Ahh, youve got to love using Sakkras, easily the best way to get highest productivity, just terraform all the planets and steal robotics technology, boom youve got a 220 pop planet with 6 factories per mil colonists, that means a lot of productivity, especially great on rich and ultra rich planets.
