Right now we have the planet management option and when a planet gets attacked i personally get iritated that it doesnt shoot the right ships.
this got me thinking and came up whit this idea.
Why not make a command option to?
pressing F6 would result in YOU taking command of a planet/platform while your ship is in deep space or orbit.
It would help a lot if you could let a planet and in the future platforms attack the nasty transport/bombers instead of the wrong target.
Ofcourse this option would require some sort of command device for the special slot but in the target screen the planet would read Commanded by Axianda *XO* for instance.

I've suggested this about 47 times and no one ever listens. =(. But as I've thought abut it, what would happen with a large fleet attacking a planet and every one of them a vet in his own mind who knows EXCATLY who to target, and they all fight for the command of the planet? Would you be able to only target theplnaet based on its governed rank, as in when it is bing built? This may not work either, what with the large number of Fleet Admirals and such, but just my thoughts.

Perhaps only a fleet member of the fleet that owns the planet can ALWAYS take control of the planet

I like the idea. Though you wouldn't need a new screen for it, I don't think. Just order the planet "ATTACK ". Cancelling the planet's orders would make it switch back to the default targetting that it is. Maybe you could even set it on "DEFEND" which shuts down the missile defenses but leaves up the Point Defense? Would be great for when 2 factions want to help eachother.

about the part about factions trying to help eachother u can order the planet defenses not to target say ICC but to target K'luth but however any ship on the other faction that fires at the planet (say the ICC faction u ordered the planet not to attack decides to double cross u) the order will be overided and the planet will continue normal defense procedures

Just thought of something--there are going to be defense platforms, right? Would it be possible to have to have a ship dock with it to have it control its defenses? Hmmmm.....nevermind, maybe that would be ludicrous. I dunno, just throwing things out there, help me, I'm lost!

Hmm docking to the platform for control WOULD be a nice idea but i dont think it will work when you try and dock whit a planet
still the idea is good. dock and get weapons control over it 
bright side more guns
bad side cant move
On cobra's reply that wont be needed IF you can get a control over the planets defenses than YOU can pick the targets
a depot would pop up like a supply drone bay in the screen you can reload the ship it comes near you
