1) Build 100 troops with just a cockpit. drop 'em on a planet to quell the riot quick.
2) Click a planet, then go to the "cargo" tab. You can see your current storage, and your maximum. Either launch some units, scrap old ones, or build a cargo facility.
Oh, and if your race is neutral (rather than bloodthirsty or peaceful), then the ships and troops won't help. Just stop signing treaties and fighting battles.
If you're bloodthirsty, win some battles in the system. I suggest gifting a ship to an enemy, then whooping it so your people get a good show
. Add troops to the planets too.
If you're peaceful, the battles won't help, but the troops will.
