Animations for ground combat

I like most people here applaud Stardock for the wonderful game and sequeal. I love watching ship combat! Usually, the first time I get into a ship battle, I usually watch it over and over again, like I am actively in a Star Trek movie or something. Love the way you can design ships and watch them fight! Now, this is not a complaint really, but I would love to see better animation for ground combat. It would be so awesome if you could see the asteroid strike for example if you use that option before a planet invasion. Also, if you had like phasers for instance and your opponent had only researched lasers, you could see your troops fire their green little phazer beams, and watch the enemy struggle with their red lazer beams against you. Kind of like the lightening bolts that come from the dread lords when they fight!!! Master of Orion 2 had some good planet invasions. Anyway, just an idea. Seeing better planet invasions would make conquest much funner, since you could enjoy awesome planet invasion animation in addition to awesome ship battle animation.
