Default Re: Doomsday weapon in Proportions

NSC's and other shield-skipping weapons have an advantage against Proportions homeworlds because they skip the homeworld's intrinsic shields (12,000 or so). However the 12K shields aren't really all that hard to bring down, with appropriate weapons (napalm, shield depleter, neutron bomb, drones, etc).

So, I'm currently most concerned about neutron bombs and smart bombs. I'm thinking of lowering neutron bomb damage, and making smart bombs large components with Reload 30 and a new description about being designed to wipe out developed continents (and incidentally, spaceports ) - then maybe rename them and make them precusors to tectonic bombs. The existing smart bombs would be replaced by some more generic bomb, perhaps able to skip shields (but not take out CC's in one hit) would be a good compromise.

Opinions? Ideas?
