Default Doomsday weapon in Proportions

It is ... Smart Bomb (either supply depot or space port - does not matter). When you drop it on planet, it seeks and destroy buildings with resupply/spaceport ability, such as Cultural Centeres One round of fire from puny battlecruiser will nuke your homeworld back to the Stone Age

Ouch! Does one of them destroy ALL the facilities? If so that's a serious flaw I think Pvk should consider eliminating that particular weapon.

Smart bomb skips shields, weapon platforms and smartly goes after buildings. I don't know exact algoritmm, but one SB III appears to kill one cultural center per shot.

I wonder if it would be possible to reduce the damage on the SB? Either that or up the cost/ research and repackage it as some kind of city killer. (Think "independence Day"=-)
