How do I bombard an enemy planet from orbit?

[Grimch]

Ive moved my fleet into orbit but im not seeing anything that allows me to bombard the planet. Slave revolts smh...

They should start bombing automatically when orbiting an enemy planet

What is your bombard? policy (think it's like the Top one or near the top). Also you may need a certain class of ship (Want to say Cruiser) or above (but I am not 100% sure).

Nope. Any combat ship can bombard unless you're rocking mods.

You can't bomb a planet unless you're at war with the target. If the planet isn't "liberated" yet by the slaves, then you can't do anything other than send more armies or wait until they become a sovereign nation you can declare war on.

I believe you need at least 10 combat worthy vessels in orbit to bombard enemy worlds, if so and you are at war it should start bombardment automatically.
