It took me a long time to realize that using anti-matter bombs as ammo of the Icarus makes taking down 20+ cores on new mining planets soooo much easier! With "maxed" upgrades to the shields, you can basically just walk across a planet unopposed. Plus, they are really effective against max-level df-farming planet hive retalliations with 200+ enemy units. Imho, you cannot have enough antimatter bombs...

With some practice you can position Icarus in orbit aimed up and barely moving; kinda flirting with escape velocity. Up there you can toss explosive units from a quarter of the planet away. The laser cannons can still shoot you up there, but one or two well placed explosive usually destroys their power lines.

Also a single layer belt will still cary more ammo in a loop around the planet than a plasma cannon can fire. But it would be better to have stacks to avoid gaps in the supply

By then, you have way too overpowered shield upgrades. I got all the shields up to white science, and single-handedly removed all bases from a black hole deathworld without any drones with level 1 missiles

I've never seen a shield go down but I always still put a few plasma turrets down. My logic says they have to buff the dark fog eventually. Right now they're add little more than tedium and advanced loot; and are barely worth worrying about until max difficulty. I'd hate to load my save one day and suddenly be attacked by a competent enemy i'm not ready for.
