"In fact, it is a waste of population to have more than 10 billion on a SW or RW."

Aside from the already mentioned..64B worth of militia can make life a bit hairy for an invasion force even if all the surface troops and WPs are killed.

Ain't multi retrofitting considered cheating?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Usually no, it depends on what the host has stated before the game begins.
I always allow it.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Goodness no!!

The only time I would call it cheating is in turn based where you could keep retrofitting a ship on the same turn till you ran out of resources. Since turned based is solo play, who are you really cheating?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Most certainly not. Gamey, yes. But it is in no way cheating, unless expressly forbidden in the game setup description.

"So can a few 1000 large shield troops."

Troops can be killed from orbit; militia can't unless you bombard down the population (and, incidently, destroy facilities)

Troops can be killed from orbit but not if a troop transport is bearing down on it.

In P&N, give them the Cheap Component mount! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Reduces the component's hitpoints by 50%, sure, but it takes 20% off the cost - your warp opener probably wouldn't survive a combat anyway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Of course, now that I suggested to SJ that Cheap Components consume more supply, then that could change things http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

(I did suggest that, right? {checks pirates thread})
