In Sins of a Solar Empire (any version), when I enter an enemy gravity well, my darn capital ships always attack missile platforms right off the bat.
This causes them massive damage and really tilts the odds of the battle against me.
Is there a way to tell these idiotic pilots to keep their distance from the platforms, by default?
I know I can steer them away manually, but I don't want to keep tabs on every individual battle every time it happens!

Your best bet may be to decrease their engagement radius to Near (or something like that) They won't ignore them completely, but they won't go haring off across the system to attack far-away platforms.
