I think that Heavy and Massive mounts should be able to kill population. A Massive Mount is used on Baseships only, and a Massive Mount DUC can have almost the same impact on planet as today's nuclear bomb. Think of the size of that depleted uranium from Massive Mount, it would be comet like in size.
It would be covered quite well by adding a limit of 100 points. Large Mount DUC 5 makes 80 points and could not be able to kill population while larger mounts will be able to kill it, but slowly.

"EENK on a PAGE!"
Probably why increasing that "number of points to kill population" was recommended. Which is why I asked if the damage neutron bombs inflict is affected by that ratio or not.
