Problem With Dominating Planets

Right now I'm in a Crescent Warship (upgraded with neutron turrets, shield capacitors, and the like) with 1 Azdgari Arada escort, 2 Igadzra Arada escorts, and three Merchant Arada escorts. Anyway, my combat rating is deadly, and now I'm trying to find a planet which I can dominate. I've picked Sumer to start with, an easy planet to dominate and redominate (only sends out 1 Crescent Fighter). I've picked such an easy one because I'm worried about bounty hunters. If I get annoyed enough, I'll just let Sumer go and redominate it later. However, there is an small little problem:

It won't let me dominate it.

Every time I try to dominate it, the planet just says "Go Away!". How do I go about dominating this planet? Thanks for any advice you have!

Whats your combat rating? You need to be an Ultimate or Deadly.

Really? Oh good! I have a deadly combat rating! (As I said in the main part of the topic).

Oops! I haven't tried it ever since I got a deadly combat rating! Yipee!

Thanks Titan.

I would have expected you to know something as basic as that...

Do the bounty hunters ever bugger off? I've killed several hundred million dollars worth of bounty hunter ships, and you'd think they'd get the point after a while, or at least upgrade their ships before going after me......

Cas--That's what's called an uninterrupted, as many EVO plug writers refer to it as. Most ships in EV are randomly generated and all are randomly postitioned. EV Nova is rumored to feature a tech enhancing feature that could include said upgrades on bounty hunters. I hope my post has given some info and hope...

It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.

Well, actually, I was thinking that I had to get a really mean combat rating, but I wasn't sure and I wasn't sure which level combat rating.
