Do the bombs stop after wiping all population - or after everything is dead/flat?


I am reasonable sure that it works the following way (but it should be easy enough to also test it):

For each players' bomber fleet (from lower to higher ID):
1) Test wether planet has population.
2) Effect of all bombs is calculated and applied to the buildings, defenses and pop of the planet.

So if the planet had 800k pop, no defenses and 2400 buildings and you attack with 40 mini-cherrybombers (=80 cherry bombs):
80 x 2.5% = 200% of the pop is killed = wiped clean
80 x 10 = 800 buildings are razed (1600 remain)

So you should find 1600 buildings when recolonizing the planet.

I don't think that the bombs stop as soon as the last colonist is killed, so it definetly pays off to make as accurate bombings as possible to keep buildings.
