To be believable there should be a sound reason for this: planetary 
bombardment is not a light-and-heavy issue but includes all stages in 
between.  Even asteroid strikes can range from the Ortillery-like to 
targetted infrastructure damage and upwards.

>2.  Normal starships are not effective against planetary surfaces;
Couldn't agree more.

>Should we have various "Blockade" states?  eg (a-f)
Very reasonable states.  Would not a larger fleet be able to have higher

chances for interceptions and (even in the vastness of system space)
find 
it more difficult to "hide" (the infamous "drive signatures", etc)?

Have fun,
