Robo miners/Remote Mining maintenance Reduction

[Windborne]

I thought about that, but it seemed like more fun if i could actually gain something while ticking off my erstwhile opponent. lol. Maybe I'm just frugal but if i'm not getting anything out of the deal destroying good real estate just seems like a waste, i'd rather just take it over myself. But if I can destroy it quick and dirty and get something out of the deal . . . well then I'm tempted to loot and plunder! lol

If you know you won't be able to hold the planet (deep in enemy territory, say). Why not bLast it to 0% with value damage weapons, then drop troops, capture and scrap everything for big plunder, pick up the troops and move on!

I did a quick search of the Components and Settings files; there's no mention of any weapon that can damage planet value. There's not even an ability listed for damaging only planet value. The only components that reduce a planet's value are the remote miners/farmers/extractors, and there's no setting to specify how much they reduce a planet's value.

BTW - obviously, there's an intelligence operation that reduces planet value, but I don't think an Intel Project ability can be transferred to a component...
