Look again at that screenshot. :)
The Thoraxians outnumber the Acutians, but you might not notice because they have moved part of their forces already to the Acutian planet. They don't outnumber them by MUCH, but that's not the criteria they are using to decide they are critically weak. They see that there is a tiny 10m population on that planet, and that they have more effective power than the other side, and so in they go. |

Ahh! Well, the whole system (except the Pektians) are basically suiciding into the "opportunistic" and "critically weak" planets like crazy, which is fine, as it prevents them from ever building up enough of a fleet to actually do any damage, so I'm just out there building relations buildings and profitting like crazy... :)

I could've started a new ticket (and maybe should have, let me know and I'll change the behavior in the future), but it's pretty related, so I decided to just drop it in a feedback and let you decide.
I don't think the AI is considering things like Planetary Ion Cannons correctly (if at all) when deciding to attack. For instance, against a planet with 5 Ion cannons, double the fleet power isn't even CLOSE to what you need to take the planet. Assuming your opponnt has 1,000 power around the target planet, even if you're able to kill 5 power per day, that's a 200 day siege (which is fine btw - I really prefer these long sieges) but with 5 ion cannons firing at you each day, they're going to kill off 1,000 of your ships by themselves... |

When fleet combat was made less deadly, Planetary Ion Cannons didn't seem to get rebalanced along with the ships. |
