Well, the likely targest of the Alliance depend in most cases on far more political situations than strictly military ones.
It also has a lot to do with the resources you have an what you are trying to achieve.
So here's a couple of questions that you really have to answer before you start picking out targets.
1) What resources do you actually have? This one isn't as obvious as most people might think. I mean, all you have to do is look at one of the more recent infodumps, count hulls, make a few extrapolations and presto, you have the Alliance fleet or a fair approximation of it. There's you're resources, what else do you need to know. Just fill them up with missiles and send them off through the wormwhole.
But wait, how many of those ships can you really afford to send? Someone just destroyed virtually the entire heavy industrial structure of the Manticore and Yeltsin systems and really, nobody really knows how they did it or even if they could stop them from doing it again.
How many strikes like that can the Alliance actually afford before their systems are in serious trouble. Worse, you don't even know who did it or where they are so you can't just point your SD's noses at the enemy and tell them to destroy.
How many heavily populated and industrial cities are in the Alliance? What do you need to actually defend them. I mean we know this force has limitations, we know that they're probably not on their way to Haven even as we speak. But how much to the Alliance members really know and how much are they willing to risk to go beat up on the Solly's?
2) What is your goal with the Solarians. Are you seeking utter distruction or would you just prefer that they left you alone, or is it something in between. Do you really want to destabilize the League to the extent it disintegrates or are you looking for some other form of end game.
3) What is your goal for yourself? If you manage to actually cause the League to fall apart, what does that mean for the mighty Manty Merchant Marine. Most of their trade is with the League. How badly do you want all of that to fall into chaos. Are you ready to start providing armed escorts ala Silesia but on a super steroid League wide scale? Are you looking to extend your empire and become one of the post break up squabbling League successor states?
Maybe you do hold the fate of the League in your hands. What are you going to do with it?
Once you determine what you really have to work with, and what you want the result to be, then the targets will become apparent a lot more apparent.
For example, a lot of discussion has been had here about destroying shipyards and missile manufactures. If you're looking at nothing but achieving a military victory and destroying the League's ability to wage war, these become reasonably high priority targets. If, on the other hand you want to win the way via economic collapse then maybe civilian yards and significant economic infrastructure are the highest priority targets. Let's say you want to preserve the League but want to keep it off your back while you search for the people who really are a threat. In that case the target list will be one designed to keep the League disrupted rather than smashed to flinders.
What I'm saying is that there is no one single target list because that list is created to achieve a specific goal, not the other way around. What might be a high priority target for one purpose might actually hurt you if you have another.
and depending on what those goals are, it may very well mean that you don't really care al
