Running the latest beta patch.

Playing as the Mortalens trying to invade a Zenox independent, they have no troops and we are several years into the game and have never built a star port, colony is still very undeveloped.

Is this anything to do with planet climate preferences? If it is there should be some feedback.

I have several fully troops carriers with all the requisite equipment all ordered to attack just sitting next to the planet doing nothing.

Another notable event is that I had an attack fleet ordered to blockade the planet before the troops arrived, they listed orders to attack my own freighters that were picking up cargo from the colony.

Try ctrl + right click and choose invade.

Yea I obviously did that already, I have tried every single way of ordering an attack manual or auto.

Not sure if this would be the same as your issue, but I solved a similar problem by changing the Invading fleets tactics to "Invade Immediately" rather than 'Wait till clear".

Give this man a cigar.

Thanks, that worked.

Heh, this is like discovering all the little quirks of the original distant worlds ui when it first came out. God bless Elliot but the user friendliness of the ui was never a strong point though this time around its very much improved.

Sadly, but UI in DW2 is much more inferior comparing with DW1.

A strategy tip related to this:
- I set my invading fleets to bombard or 'Invade when clear' so they assemble in orbit by the planet.
- When I am ready to invade, I change the tactic to 'invade Immediately'.
- This way, you reliably dump all your troops rapidly onto the planet, rather than feeding them in piecemeal.

Self-Evident, but I learnt the hard way:
Stack your TroopShips with multiple Assault Modules. Each Assault Module lands only one troop at a time. So if you have a Large Troop Compartment, with 5 or more troops, it can take forever to land all five troops, unless you have 5 Assault Modules that can dump them all at once.

The Interface could be a name for one of the end game crises in Stellaris, unfortunately in DW its an in game crises.
