[Q]

In the beginning of SE IV quite a lot of people were complaining, that reproduction rate was too low!
I don't know how you calculated the 2 billion (= 2000millions) population increase in a month on a huge planet, but this is just not correct. The reproduction rate is per year and not per turn. If you loose a substancial part of your pouplation (eg. homeworld) it is almost impossible to catch up and in all my games I had almost no colonies with full population (I do ship hower always my polpulation from the older colonies to the new ones).
So in my opinion the reproduction rate is very well balanced.
