Planetary Invasion?

    would a planetary assault be useful for factions territorial battle?

    So, playing around with rails is really great, and now I believe I am ready for a new project to accompany my Battle cruiser/Dreadnaught. With that project in mind, do multiplayer servers/faction battles ever happen on planets? For example, faction A's base is on a planet(not home base) and Faction B wants it, so they launch an invasion to NOT destroy, but capture, so small ships and bombers are sent to neutralize defenses, and ground troops then storm the base. If this is a feasible scenario, then one of my testing platforms is 1/3 of the way to helping with that. Also, related to the first question, does a deployable mining base sound like a good idea? I.E. a ship surveys a planet, and the amount of ore is great, so then an astronaut places a dock flush with the planets surface, and then returns with a ship-base hybrid that docks with said dock, and with logic and rails becomes a planet side base. Your feedback is appreciated and welcome. Thank you in advance

    Keep building, Starmaians

    It could be done (kinda) but it would require a lot of organisation but it may lag on planets.
    (It would be awesome if your faction boarded the enemy homebase or an enemy capital ship)

    I'm currently designing a "mobile base" with defenses and possibly in a later update, an undeathinator. It would be possible to assault a planet, station, and maybe a capital ship if it could avoid being shredded by PD and turrets
