So I have a question, but how do you get access to the special VIC related stuff?  You start with the revitalization center, though the rest of the stuff I haven't figured out how to get.

As in, the genelab that produces their special commodity?
you don't, that's exclusive to one of their planets.

Oh, huh, thought it'd be a special infrastructure like in Aurora Federation.  What about the bombing maneuver?

[Ruddygreat]

you get access to virus bombing by having one of their cresil carriers in their fleet, it requires genetech & organics to do

Aaaah.... okay that explains why I've been struggling to figure it out.


Played around with it, it's definitely interesting.  Though the permanent modifier is a big limiter of it's employment since it doesn't burn itself out like regular viral plagues.  Maybe something that could be fixed with an atmospheric processor with cross compat with terraforming?  Not sure.  The AI did immediately create a Biohazard Prevention Agency immediately.

Is it intended that any faction (in this case Legio, hostile to VIC) can build the facility necessary to mitigate the effects of viral bombardment?
