If I were playing an IS, and I had some good size orgies in the middle game, and I wanted to take an enemy planet with minimal loss of factories and mines, so I could use the planet and get it fully producing as soon as possible...

Now the orgies are not SO big that I can take a planet just by dropping pop (the 10 million or whatever that number is) so I need to do a single bombing run to reduce the defenses before I drop the pop.

i.e. at 50% defense and 900K pop, I drop 2 million pop, half of which is killed by the defenses, the other half takes the planet...

So how do I best determine how to get an enemy planet down to a certain percentage of coverage?

When bombs are dropped, and 100 'installations' are destroyed, how many of those are factories, mines, and defenses? I would have a rough idea of how many installations are there, and the tech level of the defenses.

I have not seen any discussion of this (though I have only spent 45 minutes searching the forum...) and I do not see it in any of my spreadsheets. Does anyone know?

Thanks!
