See reference on what you may need to consider if Bloodthirsty:
- Equals Happier
Other equals Sadness

Note winning Battles, and capture Planets give happiness.

Agreements and loosing battles give sadness.

As SJ says, 3 Troops (-6) will equal 1 Ship (-5 & -1=-6) in orbit over that Planet. But if planet is angry it may be best to send a few ships post haste that are close by into orbit, before the Planets riots and then the final rebellion

It also may be recommended to build about 10 inexpensive Troops (Militia only) as your first new Colony build as to maintain Military Order on the Planet; if you are failing in your Happiness objectives

Reference

Population Happiness Effects:
- Riot prevents any point generation from that planet.
- If a planet riots for sufficient time, it may rebel.
- Rebellion changes the planet to a new owner.
- Happiness level modifies output of the planet.

All values are in 10ths of a percent.
