how do you stop a plague?

Ewwwwwwww. ;-)

A couple of notes.

* A ship with a Medical Bay of sufficient level (Level Foo cures plagues of Level Foo or below, Foo within [1,5]) cures the plague as soon as the ship arrives.

* A Medical Lab of sufficient level (only [1,3]), OTOH, at least used to cure only *after* plague damage was assessed for that turn. This might have changed in a patch, 'tho.

* Medical bays are small and not terribly expensive. It might make sense to put them on your pop transports, since those are fairly likely to be well-distributed within your empire.

* For that matter, if you're being nasty, you can put both a Plague Bomb and a Medical Bay on the same CA, so that you can cure infected planets ASAP if the owner surrenders.
