Plagues

[tomwhalen]

How do you stop plagues?

[JLXC]

Research Medical Technology then put a medical bay on a ship then send it to the planet and if the tech of the ship (1 - 5) is equal or greater than the plague (1 - 5) then the next turn the plague is cured.

Also, Organic has a facility that does the same thing for a whole system, but I don't know if other techs do.

Hope this helps.

Organic tech has a facility that can prevent up to level 3 plagues, to stop anything stronger you still need medical.

Yeah, I use organic a lot and the Med Lab III facility is cool. It CURES plagues and increases happiness as a bonus. It, however, doesn't actually prevent them - they (plagues) will hit your planet for 1 turn, kill a few peasants, lower happiness just a tad, then be cured byt he Med Lab.

IMO, it is worth going Organic Tech for that alone, never mind Replicant Centers, cool weapons (Enveloping Acid Globules are the best weapon IMO), and regenerative armor. I jsut never have been very good at getting / keeping Med ships ready to suppress a plague - my planets always seem to riot before I get the plague cured....
