Defend the important points, know when to retreat you're mobile forces once that planet is doomed. Eventually, you may need to pile everything onto your home planet to survive. (Yet another reason why you should never leave your home system completely undefended, no matter how far away your border planet have gotten.)

Oh, and pray for the "AI units get stuck after killing a command station" bug to trigger.  ;)

Don't worry, all human ships are run by 'dumb' AI, so we're not actually sending people to their doom in suicide attacks. At least, I think that's the official storyline. If you prefer to believe that it's heroic pilots going off to die for king and country, you can though. The story is pretty fluid.  :)

Well, it says right there in the description that the AI will freak out and be really p*ssed off if you use this (not exact wording, of course). You sort of asked for it.  ;)

I have a mk4 planet nextdoor with 1200+ ships sitting ontop of the CC, ~200 of those are Neinzul thingies ... no getting close to that CC ... (2.2k ships on planet, none freed)
Please give me carriers, those are easy, never fight more than 1k of mk4 ships at the time, not 1.2k mk5 ships, 1/6 with their own shield and bunch of weapons :-\
But as suggested, what comes out of the missile silo is helpfull in these cases :)
