Re: Plague bomb..

Yes, but it was the AIC game and I had a very nice Proportionesque colony with 20+ weapon platforms !
It decimated a big enemy fleet without loss of a single WP ! But one frigate sneaked and drop plague bomb before been blown from sky. It was enough 
How it did happened - small ships in AIC can be very fast. Fazrah' frigates have 6 moves per combat turn (contrterran engines). Plague bomb has a range of 5. My small WP had a range of 10. Thus, by pure luck one frigate just jumped in and droped the bomb.
JLS, let's give plague bomb range of 1 - that should give a chance for the planet to defend itself !
