Space Empires
Marvin Kosh:
The only use I've found for allies is to give me a screen when I'm flying through Grox territory. The rest of the time they get in the way, haven't the sense to shoot back at something, and should basically just stay in orbit while the professional lunatic pilot is working.

I'm getting better at it. Calling in a Raider Rally on the more populated planets seems to help, and now I have the upgraded laser I can take out turrets quickly before they blow up my allied ships.
Don't destroy your own turrets, fool! First, the time you spend taking aim at the turrets is time you're getting mauled and not actually conquering. Just fly in fast and low, and you'll be over the city and probably in the blind spot where the turrets take forever to lock on by the time they even pick you up. Then BOMB BOMB BOMB. Megabombs can flatten in 2-4 hits, minibombs take somewhat more, but all will get the job done. Then you can optionally repair, refuel, and take the next city. Don't fly around like a buffoon, don't pick fights with turrets, and don't dogfight. Just get in there and bomb! Once the city surrenders, all its turrets shutdown anyway, and if you went in fast, they won't have even gotten a shot off before it's over. And hey, free turrets!

Actually I use raider rally on my own planets for free sporebucks and easy bodyguard badge. Just open the pirate wormhole right next to your own ship and use the normal proton missile. It will do splash damage to the clustered raider ships and you'll be a hero in no time.

What precisely are you bombing? Anything and everything, or a specific building?
Dopp:
The city hall.
