A thought on killing planets

[Jubala]

Baron, that sounds good to me. Hopefully MM will add that. Three extra lines for weapons in the data files might do it together with appropriate code changes.

Damage to ships/bases :=
Damage to units :=
Damage to population/facilities :=

With units being cargo stored on planetsurface and ships/bases being anything in space. The value could either be a percentage of the Weapon Damage At Rng := values or be full fledged weapon damage at range in their own right.

Or if you really want to be able to make different types of weapons:

Damage to ships :=
Damage to bases :=
Damage to weapon platforms :=
Damage to troops :=
Damage to mines := (in storage)
Damage to satellites :=
Damage to fighters :=
Damage to drones :=
Damage to population :=
Damage to facilities :=

Did I miss something? Don't think so. Personally I think the first choice is the better one. Less risk of screwing up and less to keep tabs on. Also easier to implement.
