I think that the best way to get resources is from a trade partner.

In my game, the Eee are first place and offered a trade alliance. I get 20% of their 200K resource output, and they get zilch. Of course, they do get insurance against me stealing all their ships and colonies.

I'm really getting hammered by intel right now, any suggestions?
I have a planet of aliens that the crysies started a riot on. The other alien planet (with SY and orbital factory) in the system is unhappy. I have one construction station in orbit, which is building troops right now, and I'm sending some ships in, but they are really needed on the front lines of the war against the Crysies in the next system down.

Whats the best way to stop the rioting with what little I have?
