Plague bomb..

[Fyron]

It would be quite reasonable to require different plauges for each atmosphere type, or to have variable plauge resistance available as a racial trait. However, that might be more complex than some people would like. Besides, can you imagine having to equip your plauge ship with three different types of plauges in order to deal with everyone you are at war with? Sure, you could do multiple designs for multiple fronts, each with just one type of plauge, but still....

Plagues are only 20 kT, and you only need one to kill a planet (or 50 planets), so it is really a null issue. And yes, I can imagine that, and it would be greatly preferable to the current system.

Ah, silly me; you're right.

If the purpose is to render a planet useless (perhaps when deep behind enemy lines where a friendly colony would be immediately captured) then you would want persistant spores. It might be nice if this were moddable, but it makes sense either way; just for different purposes.

Oh you're going for the scorched galaxy plan are you? Well then you'll love the handy dandy Radiation Bomb from Scumco WMD Inc. One hit and the planet is useless for further colonization. Usefull for those pesky alien colonies that you can't colonize yourself, or just because you're a rotten intergalatic despot. Order yours today!
