The explanation that the OCM viral bombs are just normal bombs with 0% kills and 2000 minimum kills, and are then summed with all other normal bombs seems a very plausible and elegant answer to this. After all, why would they put in special code for OCM bombing when code is already in place for such minimum kills bombing... Well one reason why not is now made obvious - crazy people like me rush in with 80+ colonisers *and* a bunch of bombers then get confused Smile

Interesting aside from this also in the way regular bombs work... Imagine a situation where you have a fleet that contained both LFB and Cherries... Potentially the LFB could end up dealing less than 300 kills, because the high % kills of the cherries could raise the total % kills enough that the summed % beats the summed minimum kill count. Quite novel. I'd always assumed the kills were worked out per bomb, but it seems they are summed for convenience, even across multiple sizes of bomb. This leads to some peculiar and implausible results, the most extreme case of which is seen with the OCM.

Fun! Smile

But annoying Smile
