Okay, I fiddled around with the damage amounts and then ran some simulator missions using a ship with a neutron bomb component.
Found that no matter what the damage setting, a Neutron Bomb I would always kill 1 million people and inflict damage to the planet equal to what I had set the amount to kill 1 population to. When I loaded up a Neutron Bomb II, it killed two million people and inflicted damage to twice that ratio.
So, raising that damage level up to keep ships with beam weapons from killing off colonies will still let all you genocidal beasts who insist on butchering entire colonies to do so with neutron bombs.
So.. what should it be raised to? 100? 200? 500? 1000?
