Just to be clear, I think it's fair to say that Steve's intent is that both reloading magazines (both on the ground and on ships) and in refueling from tankers should not take zero time. He just hasn't had a chance to code these things up. So the message people are trying to deliver is that they use role-playing to fill in the gap in the software.
That being said, yep bombarding planetary stockpiles is an interesting idea - maybe it should take a REALLY long time to reload planetary magazines that aren't next to an ammo dump (since part of the mechanism would need to be a rationale for the race to be storing its missiles in a non-dispersed manner).
