ORIGINAL: Pocus One important factor to consider usually (in many games) are the penalties or destructions incurred by the target upon capture. If losing then retaking a planet means it gets severe penalties to production for a decent time, then you'll want to defend it even if it costs a lot. That's sure on the contrary that if there is no penalty, then you are better defend nothing and retake with a mobile force. I hope the game is set right on this aspect. Edit & PS: Any land combat should inflict collateral damages to the population In the real world there usually are some considerable political and cultural implication for loosing territory, even if you can later on retake it. Those things usually don't exist in games or are so small that you can usually just ignore them. I would be just fine if there were some severe penalties to loosing stuff other than loosing it. I think that is usually things that games don't implement enough of that force the player to role play such issues rather than game them. I might sound like a min/max player but I actually role play quite heavily when I play and put allot of restrictions on my behaviour to make it more fun. But should I have to do that, shouldn't the game mechanic support logical behaviour such as defending your worlds rather than wait for the attacker to land and then I attack them instead since my units are super good at attacking but awful at defending. I rather have my troops in space waiting for the enemy to land their occupation force, that is an odd behaviour in my opinion. But when you have units that are good at attacking and awful at defending you will get that behaviour. It also make no sense that a unit is worse at defending than attacking, I don't even think it is physically possible. I can move my attack force around at my pleasure, defences have to sit at every planet so will be very expensive. If I instead invest those resources in more ships instead I can probably keep the invasion from happen in the first place. And if it does I have my own invasion force to simply remove them from the planet.
