Building Strategies, Spending Management, Economic Drains, Maximizing your Planet

Ah, that is true. With rare planets it might be much more valuable. Thanks for pointing that out. I'm still fairly new at this game, so there's bound to be some flaws in my advice.

> 1) How do you figure out the population cap for a given planet?

There's more to it. PQ limits population as well. I forget the formula (I think it's a function of PQ^2), but practically it only really comes into play for the low PQ planets, as in 7 and below. To prove it, next time you colonize a Mars planet, check out the population. It will stop growing at some point (I think it's 2.55 billion?).

That's new in 1.0X I think. I used to have my PQ4 planet as income planets, that's no longer possible. But you're right, PQ does matter now.
