Default Re: A thought on killing planets

But even if certain weapons could destroy infrastructure, it would take several months for the population to decrease from starvation.

Not that this would be a bad feature; you could then "resupply" the planet with transports loaded with food. (How this could be implemented I'm not sure, maybe similar to a plague).

Fear the squirrel.
