Weapon of coice for glassing a homeworld?

We should be able to use Antiproton (Antiproton s are anti matter are they not?) beams to deplete atmospheres and convert them to None worlds. That would make for more incentive to take None as a gas type. Something like 100,000 KT of damage per size to deplete an atmostphere. Double that for Gas Giants and half way convert them to Rock.

I suppose the destruction of matter would overheat and radiate the world before the atmosphere would be depleted. The game could use some radioativity factors in the game. Use the Environment Resitance factor to reduce the ill effects of radioactivity.

Ever consider what a ramming colonizer would do to a planet? 300 KT of mass hurling right at a city would do nasty things to a fairly wide area.
