[Baron Munchausen]

Diminishing returns on planet damage and effects on conditions have both been suggested many times. Both in the beta forums and on the eGroups mailing list. Whether MM is just unwilling to do this or hasn't had the time with all the bug fixing I can't say. There's never been a comment one way or the other from the programmer. Just hordes of players asking for this and no one I have seen against it. <shrug>...
