I am currently in a game where I am using the AR viral weapon in large numbers 200+ instead of bombers.
- First arrive at enemy colony kills 388k of pop with 220 Pintas (no packet) - 675k of pop reading from overhead.
- 2nd turn (packet hits) msg has 37.8k of pop killed with 220 Pintas overhead - 378k of pop reading from overhead.
Any ideas?

As Magic9 says, defences do apply.
AR viral bombing kills pop but does not destroy infrastructure.
Year 1
220 Pintas kill 388k so the planet had about 11.8% defence coverage.
Year 2
1. If the packet was launched in Year 1 then 11.8% defence coverage still applied
2. If the packet was launched in Year 2 then production occured first so your oponent had time to build more defences.
Bombing occurs after production & I presume that viral bombing is no different.
