On Planets Nu does a planetary friendly code of ATT or NUK affect battle order, or does the planet always fight after all involved ships fight?

I remember in the past that a person could choose to have the planet fight first if they had the friendly codes and PE settings right on their planet and orbiting ships.

Ships always fight before planets. However, if a ship arrives at a planet with no fuel, and the planet is set to NUK, the arriving ship will only fight the planet (because ships will not attack a ship with no fuel). A similar situation can also occur with ATT, if none of the ships involved have set PE or the Kill mission.

Ship-Planet combat occurs after Ship-Ship.

If none of the ships have PE or Kill set and the Planet has ATT or NUK set then only the planet will attack the enemy ships. If an Enemy ship arrives in orbit without fuel and the planet is set to NUK then the ships cannot attack the fuelless ship but the planet will.

That order was never possible in VGAP3/PHost/Planets.nu nor able to give Planets/Starbases a PE.

Just a reminder, for Planets.Nu you need at least one Defense Post for 'att' or 'nuk' to work. Horwasp are different though, their planets will attack even out-if-fuel ships automatically excluding those they have given Safe Passage or higher to.
