Has anyone gotten them to work? I've had messages saying that they've stopped a planet buster, that they haven't, and that I've sacrificed a pod to stop a planet buster, but the result is always the same-no more city for me.

Do you have a save illustrating this? I know I've used them to stop them before, but that might have been v2. Is this v3? Send any save to [email protected].

Unfortunately, no. This was under v3, though, and I'm pretty sure that I managed to get every possible message for success and for failure, all to no effect.

I've seen similar with the computer AI... to see how badly I could break a treaty, I sent a Planet Buster over to Deirdre's Fishery, and saw "The Gaians have sacrificied an orbital defense pod and shot down a Planet Buster" or something like that. I thought... darn, I forgot to kill her satellite, and then BOOM. Very pretty. It wasn't shot down after all.
