Supposition: that a combination of smart bombs, with packets when the defense percentages fall, and pop bombs when defense percentages are low, is a reasonably efficient way to take the planet. I am not saying this is fast.

It's usually faster (and can be cheaper) to kill the planet with cherries and rebuild.


Depends on too may factors to say for all cases. My very rough calculations were that it was a few turns quicker to use the bombing. But in this case the biggest savings was Germ. I had a lot of planets with low Germ percentages, so capturing the planets with the factories intact saved me a lot there.
