From the "Settings.txt" file:
Planet Value Percent Loss After Owner Death := 10
Would tweaking this number help solve the problem? I'm assuming that "Owner Death" means as soon as the original population of THAT PLANET has been killed off, not when the entire empire is destroyed...
Obviously, there'd have to be another factor added in to reflect damage to conditions from other weapons; maybe just add the existing "damages planet conditions" ability to all weapons, not just radiation bombs?
Well, yes this value represents the % of resources lost on colony that has been destroyed with bombing. Also, this is the only value that should NOT be changed by bombing. The conditions on planet should deteriorate instead and perhaps the planet shouldn't be colonizable for a number of years. IIRC from mining facilities descriptions, these facilities mine resources deep under the surface of planet. Why should a bombing of planet's surface have any effect on the amount of resources on planet? I know that losing resources is some sort of penalty for destroying colonies instead of capturing them, but IMO the penalty should be something else.
